To report harmful content on Facebook, open the specific post, photo, comment, video, or other item and choose its on-screen Report option. Select the closest reason available, then check Facebook’s Support Inbox for the decision. Reporting asks Facebook to review content; it does not guarantee removal. If the issue is who can see your own Facebook information, review your audience settings instead.
Report the specific item you’re concerned about
- Open the relevant item. Find the post, photo, comment, video, or other content you want reviewed.
- Choose Report. Use the item’s reporting control and select the reason that most closely matches the concern. The exact controls and choices can vary by content type, device, and region, so follow the options shown in Facebook at the time.
- Submit the report and keep track of the item. Save its link or identifying details so you can find it again. This is a practical way to support follow-up, not a Facebook requirement.
Facebook says it reviews reports and acts when it finds a violation of its Community Standards. Content may remain available if Facebook decides it does not violate those standards.

Check Facebook’s decision and request another review
Facebook says it will notify you about the report in Support Inbox. Open the decision there to see the outcome. Facebook may offer another review if you disagree, but the option is not available for every type of content.
- Go to Help and support → Support Inbox → Reports about others.
- Open the decision about your report and select See options.
- If it appears, choose Request another review.
Facebook says this second review is usually completed within 24 hours. That is its typical timing estimate, not a guarantee.

If the concern is your own privacy or audience settings
A report is for asking Facebook to review another person’s content or account. To control who can see your own Facebook information, go to Settings & privacy → Audience and visibility. Facebook groups controls there for posts, profile details, stories, profile and tagging, and blocking. The available settings depend on what you’re trying to limit; changing your audience settings does not itself remove someone else’s content.
Facebook states that current profile and cover photos are public. You can adjust the privacy settings of older profile and cover photos. A public photo is not automatically a Community Standards violation.

Use the right route for Messenger impersonation or search results
Impersonation in Messenger
For an impersonation concern encountered in Messenger, Facebook’s desktop instructions are to open the conversation, select Privacy & support → Report → Pretending to be someone, then identify whom the account is pretending to be. This reports the Messenger conversation; it is distinct from reporting a Facebook profile. For impersonation on Facebook itself, Messenger’s guidance directs users to the Facebook Help Center.
Facebook content that still appears in a search engine
If a Facebook page or item has disappeared but its link remains in external search results, Facebook says it cannot remove material already indexed or cached by search engines. Contact the relevant search engine about its listing or cached result.
