Summary
Facebook ads are paid promotions appearing across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Audience Network. Advertisers create ads from Pages or Ads Manager, or boost existing posts. Ads must comply with Advertising Policies and Community Standards, with extra rules for Instagram and Marketplace.
Review is primarily automated, completed within 24 hours, but may involve human teams for re-reviews. Violations can lead to ad rejection or advertiser penalties. To encourage accountability, users can report ads, and the Ad Library shows all active ads, with extended transparency for political ads.
Enforcement is imperfect but improves through feedback and machine learning.

AppsFlyerCreative optimization: Why your best video ad fails as a static image
AppsFlyer’s 2026 creative data shows video and static image ads reward opposite creative qualities, so ad ops teams should plan, budget, and test them separately. Video spend is concentrating: gaming’s top 2% of video creatives captured 60.7% of spend, up from 53.5%, while image spend spread out. Top spenders are testing far more variations, widening the testing gap. Action/Strategy and Puzzle/Lifestyle show format-specific tone and social-proof reversals; Finance is the exception. Teams should use AI-assisted variation, analyze video winners deeply, keep broad image testing, and measure performance at attribute level.
