Makhi said Facebook locked her out after she tried to log in using her new iPhone 17. She had recently sold her iPhone 13 and upgraded, but the platform flagged the new device as suspicious. Facebook suspected the account had been stolen and blocked access immediately.
What really happened to Makhi’s account
The Mpumalanga creator was quick to shut down claims that she staged the whole thing. Some followers believed she deactivated her account on purpose to push people to her new page. Makhi said she would never do that behind her followers’ backs and would have been open about it.
She even went back to the person she sold her iPhone 13 to, just to test her theory. Logging in from the old device brought the account back to life. But within hours of trying again on her iPhone 17, the account locked her out once more.
