Facebook: This Attachment May Have Been Removed or the Person Who Shared It
In the Facebook App, you may receive a private message that contains an attachment. When you click on the notification of a new private message with the attachment, you see a message that the user who sent the attachment is now unavailable.
Attachment Unavailable
This attachment may have been removed or the person who shared it may not have permission to share it with you.
A shared picture/attachment may become unavailable if the original poster removes it or changes the privacy settings on it. Facebook also reserves the right to remove the shared attachment without notice, and you will see the message above. The user also can control privacy settings of the photo and in order for all to see it, it needs to be set to “Public”. This would be the case if the attachment was sent to a group in a Facebook message.

Same problem I am having. Have you fixed your issue?
I have a same problem. how to solve that ?
The Facebook atheists are also removing Christian links I’m sharing with friends through Messenger, which is not public, so this just proves how Anti-Christian they are. So sad - they have no idea of God’s love.
I hear you....although something considered 'inspirational 'messages don't get cencored the same BUT MAAAAANY legitimate, factual and scientifically proven videos I have researched thoroughly before posting about the DEEP TRUTH' are getting removed because the mass media doesn't want anyone knowing the truth. Sooooo very very sad that people are walking around trusting the wrong people who are destroying their lives..
I have been seeing alot of this = mostly around shares with a political slant - evidently FB doesn't like what some of us are sharing!
I stated getting these messages on facebook posts and private messages. Are we being censored ? Please resolve .
Yes you are being censored. Welcome to the new Facebook!
I send the files but I deleted the whole conversation? And the receiver gets the attachment unavailable notification how can we get it again?
I have been seeing this message on several of my facebook friends' post.

This is getting a little ridiculous - seeing this more and more - what's the deal? Please correct this quickly.
p.s. You can see there are 2 of these on February 13, 2019 posts on my page that say Attachment Unavailable. please fix. see previous comment sent.
I am getting this on every third post several days after having posted a share. It never happened before, something is wrong in system. I had to delete the post as I could not find to re-post.
I see this message often please fix
Why am I seeing this so often? "Attachment Unavailable
This attachment may have been removed or the person who shared it may not have permission to share it with you." Fix this please.
I also get this message. I am the admin of multiple pages and cannot see the posts. There are numerous comments on this page but NO ANSWERS. Does anyone from Facebook read this? Do they care? Are they making any attempt to correct this? Get it fixed!
There’s something going on. I’ve been seeing this more and more over the last week..it’s pretty much every second or third post on my timeline now. My settings haven’t changed in a bit so that doesn’t explain what’s happening.
Yep, going to chip in my two cents worth as well. I'm seeing this more and more. Family members posting where I would normally be able to see it but get the Attachment Unavailable message, and yet other family members can see it. Same in Groups I belong to. Often the OP hasn't made their SHARED image Public, but very often that is not the case - the image IS public and others can see it, but not me (and some others).
Yeah, so now is so bad I need permission from me, myself, to post a picture that I took myself and posted They remove my personal pictures. I can't even see my own pictures. messed up big time.
Please help! Why am I seeing this so often? "Attachment Unavailable

A friend posted a video of her aunt that had passed away, that everybody could see but me. All I could see was this stupid message: Attachment Unavailable
This attachment may have been removed or the person who shared it may not have permission to share it with you. Why????
