Meta is phasing out its Automated Ads feature, which will be completely removed in 2026. The phase-out has already begun, and users may no longer have access to create new Automated Ads, although existing automated ads will continue to run until deleted. Other ad types remain available for creation.
Key Details on Automated Ads Removal
- Automated Ads will no longer be an option in Ads Manager over the next few months.
- If you delete your Automated Ads, the plan ends immediately and results will no longer be accessible.
- Existing Automated Ads continue delivering until deleted but no new ones can be created.
How to Delete Automated Ads
- Go to your Facebook Page.
- Select Ad Center from the left menu.
- Click on Automated Ads.
- Find your ad and select View results (you may need to click See all first).
- Click the three dots in the top right corner.
- Select Delete ad.
- Confirm deletion in the pop-up window.
Once deleted, the Automated Ad is removed and will no longer deliver.
