Facebook Ads still in review
Here are the three most common reasons why your Facebook ad campaign hasn’t been approved.
1. Facebook Ads still in review because of technical reasons
False Notifications: Did you recently update your campaign? If so, you might have received a few notifications that the ad has been rejected or is not approved for all links or mobile app placements. It’s important to know that these are just notifications and your ads aren’t actually being rejected.
To clear your notifications, just go to the ad set level and click “Edit”. Then, you can remove any false or outdated notifications and save your changes. You’ll see a notification at the top of the screen if there are no issues with your ad set, so keep an eye out for this!
2. Facebook Ads still in review because of offer or landing page issues
Not In English: Make sure the offer and language of your ad are both in English if this applies to you. It’s also important that your ad’s landing page is in English.
Non-English Landing Page: Your ad’s destination must be in the same language as your ad. Make sure to adjust your targeting if you’re running ads for an English-speaking audience where the destination of the ad isn’t in English.
Offers Not Available In The US: If you are located outside of the United States, please note that your ads may not be allowed to run if they are promoting certain types of offers.

This usually takes between 1-2 business days but in some cases, it could take longer.
