Facebook (Meta) is in the process of deprecating Special Ad Audiences to all advertisers, in response to a settlement agreement reached between Facebook and HUD about user privacy.
This discontinuation is currently being released in stages:
- August 25, 2022 - Facebook began removing the ability to create Special Ad Audiences in Ads Manager.
- September 13, 2022 - Facebook will deprecate the endpoints used to create Special Ad Audiences via API.
- October 12, 2022 - Facebook will pause any Ad Sets that contain Special Ad Audiences.
We can confirm that as of August 26th, Facebook has in fact begun rolling out the changes within Ads Manager so that it is not possible to create new Special Ad Audiences.
