Meta Business Suite 4+

My Pages Are Not There

This app is getting worse not better with each update. I have over 5 Pages missing in the app. I can’t not schedule on the FB Meta app. You can’t do that. I had most of my pages before the last 2 updates. There are quite a few things wrong with this app. As far as Pages go and what we need. I don’t run ads so maybe it’s a money thing. Update I still have pages not in the business suite. Anyone know how to get them added? Update Right now I’m downloading again. It is January 1st 2023 and the app keeps sayin no internet. So I’m trying it again. Updating the 6 th of February 2023 the app updated and now won’t open again saying no internet connection Updated on February 10th 2023 I can now use the Business Suite. I do not know what got fixed but it is fixed. I love it when it works. Which his most of the time. It is easy to use does everything I need it to plus even on my iPhone XR I can see the pictures I see them good enough to make sure they follow Facebook standards. I really do like the app. I give it 5 stars.

Stop “fixing” things that don’t need to be fixed

I’ve had more problems with the Business Manager than I ever did with Pages. The layout is too “clean” in the sense that everything has the same white/grey color scheme. I can’t share Event Invites/ links to my page’s timeline from the app, which is a problem because I’m a musician. I’d like to “Schedule” my posts about reminders for shows with links to their appropriate Events, but I can’t. I have to go to my actual Facebook app and share them from there (and don’t even get me started on THAT update) and set alarms on my phone for when they need to be posted because I can’t schedule them. I’ve also had a bunch of problems with bugs/glitches, not receiving some notifications, receiving some notifications multiple times, and poor access the server to post on my timeline (it takes a long time, times out, or disconnects completely. I usually have to close out the app completely and relaunch it).

Overall, I feel like Business Manager has just taken important features for some of us away (the reality) versus giving us a user-friendly app to handle everything in one place (the intention). It’s great that I can post to Instagram simultaneously, but it’s still missing A LOT of the features and convenience that was a part of Pages. Stop “fixing” things that don’t need to be fixed. Stop changing the layout. Give us back the features we actually use and need.

A nightmare to use with screen reader technology

The “pages manager“ was simple and easy to navigate using screen reader technology, like a voiceover and J AWS on a computer. Ever since it switched over to business manager, the majority of components are not reading with screen reader technology. As a blind business owner, this significantly complicates me being able to independently use the app. It is beyond frustrating and extremely disappointing. Facebook has come so far with accessibility, and this portion, By adding the new business manager application, makes things nearly impossible!!! I used to be able to share and schedule directly while in the Facebook app, but now I’m required to use the business manager app which things are not labeled, so I have no idea what I’m trying to do while inside the app. And of the data is read off to me, navigating in a logical and sequential order is nonexistent! I am not the only blind business owner who has been having his issues. I am also part of a nonprofit organization, and affiliate of the American Council of the blind, and run the Facebook page for this organization. It is more convenient to just create a group for these organizations, rather than creating a business page, as we keep getting lead back to using “business manager“ which is not accessible in the slightest! ADA States that websites and applications need to be compliant with screen reader technology abilities, and, well… This is just not anywhere near acceptable!
