Hi everyone,
Is it still possible to successfully run Meta ads (Facebook & Instagram) using a newly created Facebook account?
I’ve heard that many fresh accounts get restricted almost immediately, or are asked to complete a live selfie verification. In some cases, even after completing the verification, accounts seem to get rejected without a clear explanation.
For those with more experience, what’s the current reality?
Are new accounts still viable for advertising?
Does using an aged Facebook account improve the chances of long-term stability?
Have you noticed any best practices that help reduce the risk of restrictions during the initial setup phase?
For context, I’m referring to accounts set up with proper information, a clean device/IP environment, and legitimate payment methods.
I’d love to hear your experiences and opinions on what works best in 2026.
Thanks in advance!
