We understand you may have concerns about connecting your social accounts to Archive. Rest assured, our integration with Instagram and Facebook is fully compliant with Meta's policies and does not put your accounts at risk. Any content violations or suspensions are related to the actual content posted on your accounts, not our connection. Archive simply collects and organizes your existing content - we never post on your behalf or engage in activities that could trigger restrictions.

Instagram and Facebook Suspension Clarification

  • Over 1,000 customers have connected their accounts to Archive without experiencing Meta (Facebook/Instagram) violations.

  • Any violation received is unrelated to Archive's connection with your social media accounts.

  • When Instagram or Facebook flags content, they're identifying posts from your brand that violate their community guidelines, not issues with the Archive integration.

  • Archive does not create or publish any content on behalf of your accounts.

  • Archive's integration is approved & reviewed by Meta & TikTok.
