FAQ

How many times can I unlink/relink?
No hard limit, but too many changes can lock actions for 24 h.
Alert persists after unlinking—what now?
Check facebook.com/accountquality; wait up to 24 h if the old Page was deleted.
Can one IG profile link to two Pages?
No. Only one active link is allowed.
