Facebook Pages are about to change.
The media giant already started testing the new features with a few public figures on the mobile app only but it’s now extending them to a larger selection of Pages.
It’s no secret that Facebook is undergoing a significative restyling both in terms of UX and UI as news about new features and are progressively drip-fed to the public. The ongoing pandemic likely boosted this process in the wake of a restyling of Facebook’s organisation chart, and as most of the HQ is working from home, the company is planning for permanent remote workers.
The latest news in this sense hits home for what perhaps made Facebook’s fortune: Pages.
Mark Zuckerberg’s company is currently testing a new design that will affect UI by offering a cleaner and neater layout for improved readability.
Additional changes will include the removal of the “like” count from the Page which will only display a “Follow” button and follower count instead. Additional UX features aimed at making the work easier for those who manage Pages and a more intuitive interface for users (easier access to key information such as bio and posts).
Page managers will be able to assign and admin access permissions and roles based on specific tasks thanks to an updated “Edit Access” screen, where owners can switch on and off specific management tasks such as the ability to create Page content, send dms as the Page, create ads, respond to comments and more…
These changes and others were initially tested with a small percentage of public figures on the mobile app, but are now being expanded to a broader group of Pages.
