Turn Off Professional Mode on Facebook
Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
Open your Facebook profile, choose Options below the cover photo, then turn off professional mode. Review the features you will lose before confirming.
Confirm you are editing a profile
Professional mode belongs to a Facebook profile, not a Page. Switch to the profile that currently shows the professional dashboard and confirm you have access to it before changing the setting.
Review what turning it off changes
Facebook says existing friends, followers, and profile content remain, but insights, Moderation Assist, discovery eligibility, content protection, and future monetization eligibility can be affected. Save any insights or payout records you need first.
Open profile options
Open Facebook, select your profile picture and name, then open the Options control below the cover photo. Menu placement can differ between app and browser, so use Facebook's current profile options rather than a Page settings menu.
Choose Turn off professional mode
Select Turn off professional mode, then Continue. Read Facebook's on-screen summary for the account because current eligibility and monetization consequences can differ by profile and region.
Confirm and verify the result
Select Turn off. Return to the profile and confirm the professional dashboard or professional-mode indicator is gone while expected posts, friends, and followers remain available.

If it does not work
- If the option is missing, verify that you switched into the correct profile and that professional mode is actually active. For a Page, use Page access and settings instead. If payout or policy restrictions are shown, resolve those through Facebook before changing mode.
