Go to Facebook Ad Manager.
Click the “Edit” button and scroll down to the “Ad Settings” section.
Here you can find options to manage your ad visibility. However, this does not guarantee that your ad will not appear in the ad library.

As of now, there's no official way to fully hide your ads from the Facebook Ad Library since it's meant to keep things transparent. Some try workarounds like running ads from multiple pages or geo-targeting, but results may vary. Always good to be careful with anything that goes against policy.

The Ad Library is now a mandatory public part of the transparency policy, so it cannot be turned off completely at the account or page level. However, some people are experimenting with ways around it, such as not attaching fanpages directly to campaigns, using intermediate landing pages, or running ads through BMs that are not publicly linked to the main page. While not guaranteed to be 100% hidden, it can disrupt tracking or prevent content from appearing in the library in the usual way. Be careful, as abuse can still result in flagging and restricting distribution.

This is a mandatory part of the transparency policy, there is no way to hide ads 100% completely, so you should be more careful.

You can’t completely hide your ads. Meta created this library to increase transparency, showing all the ads that are running.

Hiding ads from the public library is nearly impossible if you follow the current policy, because the system is designed to ensure transparency in advertising. However, some have tried to go the decentralized route — that is, using multiple pages, each with a separate promotional purpose, not directly linked to the original brand. Additionally, changing the language, the display area, or using a “short run and early shutdown” approach have been used to reduce the footprint. However, this is only a temporary solution — once the algorithm starts learning behavior, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain anonymity.

You can't completely hide the ad library, but here are a few tricks we use to stay under the radar:
– Use burner Pages that you rotate frequently
– Run ads in restricted geos (e.g., Tier 3 countries) first, then scale
– Disable all Page transparency info by not verifying business info
– For cloaking, make sure creatives shown to FB reviewers are neutral
– Never reuse flagged creatives/domains – FB fingerprints them
Cloaking + clean setups = minimal exposure.
Don't try to "hide" – try to "blend in".

It is loaded automatically so there is no way to hide it, otherwise your ads will not be served and displayed.

Hello hp0505,
You can’t fully hide your Facebook ads from the Ad Library—it’s mandatory for transparency. The only workaround is to run ads from a new page or brand variation, so people see fewer connections to your main page, but your ads will still appear there.

Some try using multiple pages or rotating ad creatives to reduce visibility, but the content will still appear publicly once active.

Facebook Ad Library is a public tool provided by Meta to ensure transparency in advertising. Currently, there is no official way to hide or remove your ads from the Facebook Ad Library once they are active. All active ads (and some inactive ones, especially related to social issues, elections, or politics) are visible to the public for transparency purposes.
If you want to limit visibility, the only workaround is to pause or delete the ad, but this will stop it from running.
Let me know if you need help managing your ads or privacy settings in other ways.

Unfortunately, Facebook Ad Library is a public feature, and there is no official way to completely hide your ads from it. The Ad Library is designed to increase transparency and allow people to view active ads from all businesses running ads on Facebook and Instagram.
However, here are a few things to consider:
Targeting Adjustments: While you can't hide your ads, you can adjust the targeting to ensure your ads are shown only to specific audiences. This might help ensure your ads are seen by your intended audience, even if others can view them in the Ad Library.
Ad Content Changes: If you're concerned about the ad content being visible, consider regularly refreshing your creatives or using different messaging to keep your campaigns fresh.
Run Ads with Limited Budget: If you're running ads with a small budget and don't want them to appear widely, limit the reach by targeting specific segments and controlling the budget.
Remember, while you can't fully hide your ads, making adjustments to targeting and ad content can help control their visibility to some extent.
If privacy concerns are related to a different aspect of Facebook advertising, feel free to clarify, and I can offer more tailored advice!

This is not possible, any page running ads will show up in the Ad Library without the hide option.
