How to fix facebook error temporarily unavailable?

Many times we see a facebook error while we try to acess our facebook account saying

Account Temporarily Unavailable

Your account is currently unavailable due to a site issue. We expect this to be resolved shortly. Please try again in a few minutes.

Here the main culprit is cookies, and the problem can be fixed by deleting the cookies in your browser.

How to clear cookies on Crome?

■ Go to three dots on right side on top of browser

■ settings > privacy > clear beowsing data

How to clear Cookies on Firefox??

Go to Tools > Options > Privacy then click the link remove all cookies.

How to clear Cookies on Internet Explore??

Go to Tools > Internet Options > General Tab then in the browsing history click the delete button check cookies and click the delete button.

It will solve your problem and next time you will get your original account without an error message.

For facebook app

■ go to mobile settings

■ settings > apps > facebook > storage

■ click on clear cache

That’s it. This should resolve your problem.

Workaround if it still happens:

■ Go to facebook.com/home instead of facebook.com

■ Second option is to Use facebook business creator studio. Go to business.facebook.com/creatorstudio and there use it to post updates.

■ For a permanent fix, change the page role in your facebook page as admin via second step.

  65. I've gone through all the cookie clearing etc. My problems started when I got a Windows 8 machine. Now I can't log in to facebook from any of my machines, Windows 7, Windows 8, android phone, or android tablet.

    Often it won't even connect to facebook, let alone give me a login screen. Just get the server unavailable screen. Have tried ipconfig /flushdns.

    I'd try to connect from my wife's pc but am afraid that if I do she won't be able to connect to facebook. My problem is now pre-facebook, though it only happens when I am trying to connect to facebook. Everything else works fine.

    For a while I was able to connect to fb from my w8 machine if I logged out every time. But then I logged in from somewhere else and the problems are back.
