Hi Timothy,
Thank you for your really helpful blog! Helpful to read.
We are a small end of life charity in the UK and we are having some issues with our Facebook page. Everyone who manages it has either full/ partial control in the New Pages Experience. However we don’t have an Admin any longer. Does this matter? We can’t link our Facebook and Instagram accounts, meaning Meta Business Suite and scheduling doesn’t work so it’s a real nightmare! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey Isabella,
Thanks for the feedback, it means a lot.
From your issue above, having an admin does not matter in the new page experience.
However, you’ll still be able to use full/partial page access to link a Facebook and Instagram account.
You’ll still be able to use Meta Business Suite and schedule posts as well.
To see what the full and partial page access can do see this Facebook article about page access control
If you want to link your Facebook and Instagram accounts, you can easily do so from the Facebook page settings.
Here’s how to do it on mobile
Switch to the page profile > tap on Settings & privacy > tap Settings > tap linked accounts > tap Instagram and then link the account.
You can see see more here
If you want to schedule a post you can use the Meta Business Suite mobile app.
Or still, when posting on the new page experience profile, tap on Next after you put in your text or upload an image.
From the option, tap on Schedule post for later.
Hope this help
