How to Turn a Facebook Ad On or Off
Facebook ads can be stopped at any time. You can turn your campaigns, ad sets or ads on or off at any time to control their delivery. You can also check the delivery of the campaign, ad set or ad by looking at the toggle next to it:
- Your campaign, ad set or ad is on.
- Your campaign, ad set or ad is off.
Before you begin - Turning off a campaign, ad set or ad doesn't delete it.
- Turning off a campaign turns off any ad set or ad in that campaign.
- If you can't turn on your campaign, ad set or ad again, try to reset your account spending limit or update your payment information.
