Due to the global impact of COVID-19, Facebook has issued a warning that ad reviews may take longer than usual.

Facebook, which has stated that all of its contracted employees are working from home, has informed that ad reviews may take longer than usual, which could result in delays in ad placements.

Here is the statement:

Delays in Ad Reviews Possible

Due to the worldwide impact of COVID-19, we are working with our partners to ensure that all contracted employees involved in content and ad review stay at home until the next notification.

Keeping our platform secure and minimizing disruptions for businesses remains a top priority for us. It is expected that ad reviews may take longer than usual, which could lead to delays in ad placements. In addition, appeals may be restricted or response times may be extended.

Newly submitted ads need to be reviewed. Furthermore, when changes are made to ads, such as text, targeting, or landing page adjustments, a new review is also required.

To prevent delays in the ad review process, we recommend following these best practices:

• Modify an existing ad only by changing its budget or start/end date to avoid the need for a new review.

• If your ads are performing well, we recommend extending the runtime of existing ads rather than creating new ones.
