Recommendations on how to warm up your Facebook account

Start with natural activity: log in from a unique IP, fill out your profile with real data, add 5-10 friends from your GEO and put a few likes in the feed. In the first three days, publish short posts without links, then connect comments in groups and Stories. Such gradual warm-up reduces the risk of checkpoints and increases trust before launching advertising.

Warming Up a Facebook Account in 2025: A Complete Guide

A brand-new profile with no history can trigger Checkpoint 902 or Risk Payment on day one. That’s why media buyers run a Facebook account warm-up to boost the trust score before launching ads. This step-by-step guide explains how to warm up a Facebook account in 2025, what it costs, which tools you need, and how to avoid the dreaded “Facebook ban right after registration.”

All tips follow the latest Meta Help update (January 2025) and insights from top media-buying forums.

Why Warm Up? Ban Statistics 2024 → 2025

  • 37 % of accounts without warm-up hit a checkpoint within 24 h.
  • 20 % drop their first-billing limit from $50 to $2 due to geo-IP mismatch.
  • Only 5 % of warmed-up profiles face a selfie request on first billing.

Essential Tools: Antidetect, Mobile Proxies, Cookies

Step Recommendation Budget, $
Proxy (mobile / res.) Same-geo IP, rotation ≥ 15 min 7–12 / mo
Antidetect browser Dolphin, AdsPower, or Incogniton 0–20
Cookie file Import if you buy autoregs included

Where to get IP resources? Mobile proxies with 4G rotation are the optimal choice.

10-Day Facebook Account Warm-Up Plan

Days 1–2 — Natural Activity

  • Log in via same-geo proxy, confirm your e-mail.
  • Add an avatar and cover photo, fill out “About.”
  • Drop 2–3 likes and watch a video in the feed.

Days 3–4 — First Comments and Friends

  • Comment on two posts in public groups.
  • Add five friends from the same country.
  • Follow a couple of local news pages.

Days 5–7 — Create a Fan Page and Publish a Post

  • Create a brand page and upload baseline content.
  • Publish a short post (text + image).

Days 8–10 — First Ads $1 → $5

  1. Add a payment method (card BIN matches account geo).
  2. Run a Page Promotion at $1/day.
  3. After 48 h, raise the budget to $5/day.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

  • Shared VPN IP. Use mobile proxies for a unique IP pool.
  • Sudden spend spikes. Double the budget at most every 24 h.
  • Device switching. One antidetect profile = one account.

FAQ — Fast Recovery & Security

How long does the warm-up take?
At least 7 days; 10–14 is ideal, depending on the limit you need.

Is an antidetect browser mandatory?
Yes. Without it, Meta detects duplicate fingerprints in multi-accounting.

Can I warm up without running ads?
Yes, but the initial billing cap stays at $50 and trust grows slower.

What if Meta asks for a selfie?
Submit a filter-free selfie on a plain background; review time ≈ 24 h.
