What Happened to Facebook Pages?
Meta, who owns Facebook, has completely revamped Facebook pages with the new Facebook page experience. Pages now get a separate feed and a new layout that resembles that of a personal profile.
To use a page in the new Facebook page experience, you must first switch to it just like you switch between multiple Facebook accounts. Simply opening the Facebook page from your profile will not switch you to the admin role. Similarly, you need to switch back to your actual Facebook profile to view its feed and interact with your friends.
Please note that you don’t need to create any new account or sign in to your account again to switch to a page. You will be shown the pages accessible to your Facebook profile as an admin or any other role and you must select the page that you want to switch to.
In simple words, you must first log in to your Facebook account and then switch to the desired page. Similarly, switch back to the main profile without logging out or doing anything else.
Now, let’s check how to switch from a Facebook page to your profile and vice versa.
