Facebook Analytics: What’s changed in 2021?
Facebook recently announced that they are removing Facebook Analytics. Facebook Analytics was a tool that allowed individuals to see how their Facebook followers were interacting with their pages and content. As of June 2021, it is no longer available, but what does this mean for your organisation and your social media data?
Don’t worry, you will still be able to access important and useful data but you just need to look for it in a different place! In fact, Facebook made these changes as part of an initiative to streamline their business tools. You can now access audience insights across Facebook and Instagram from one place - Facebook Business Suite.
