Facebook Ads Approved but NOT running

I submitted 4 ads in 1 asset on Facebook yesterday...all ads were approved yesterday within 2hours but still no traffic now after 18hours.

Target audience is 3million +. I turned Adset off and On but still not serving.

I also copied Ads to a new asset but still not running...what do I do?

What could be the problem.

New account or new page takes 30 hours for ad to begin. It's called a "hidden review"

@Mayor01234 - we've been having this same issue (began on Saturday). Not sure what vertical you are running, but we waited around 48 hours and then the accounts were banned. This morning we launched another and it's been in the "Pending Review" phase for quite some time. There also seems to be an issue with the "Ads Manager" if you go to Facebook Help and snoop around, a lot of people seem to be impacted. Let me know how this shakes out, would be interested if you are able to resolve it.

Best of luck!

I am having similar issues as well. I noted that this review process has been implemented in early January... I've been trying to post some safe ad and now even safe ads are blocked. I also noted newer facebook account would also not pass and facebook prompt you to change your password due to security reasons. And after the password update that particular fb account would no longer works.

I have been receiving the same..
2 accounts just died on me for no reason.
The ads went live, spent $.40 cents each and then just died due to unusual activity...FB is on her period again perhaps?

Thanks everyone...The account finally got banned...and also lost 3 accounts after that I tried running clean spends on!

It is been crazy but we can't give up! Let's all keep the hustle going...Hope you all got something up again!

What was the advert?

Facebook selects the best ad to show based on the ad's bid and performance history. An ad that performs well is shown more often than an ad that doesn't perform well, leading to more traffic.
