Over time, Facebook has changed the layout of the desktop and mobile app to build an aesthetically pleasing and clean look. Facebook can make unexpected changes that impact user experience and platform usability. These changes can sometimes come as a surprise to users.
Consumers should pay attention to updates on social media platforms. It is not always as simple as receiving a notification on the platform. The best way to become informed about platform updates is by searching blog sites, forums, and the platform’s website.
Not only should you do that, but you should also experiment with the changes. Experimenting with updates helps you better understand things like posting content and changing the information on your pages. It can even help you with giving and gaining access to a page, and more.
This article will explain the "New Page Experience" and show you how to change your Facebook business name. The change will help your audience easily recognize your business.
What is Facebook’s New Pages Experience?
In February 2021, Facebook announced that the page layout for Facebook Business pages was changing.
Facebook stated that “The new page experience is a way for you to manage your professional presence on Facebook. It can help you build your brand or business, grow your audience, and connect with followers.”
The overall layout of Facebook Business Pages has changed. This means that, at the first time of viewing, it may be difficult for consumers to navigate business pages. Over time, the viewer will get used to navigating the pages.
Additionally, it enables page admins to effortlessly switch between their personal and business pages. This allows them to act as either the business or the individual.
The admin of the business page could opt-in to the new pages experience. If the page was not switched manually, Facebook will automatically change it after a certain amount of time.
What Does the Transition to New Page Experience Mean for Your Business?
According to Facebook, the page undergoes changes that make navigation of the business page more ‘intuitive.’ While the transition does make it easier for users to view your page, the real changes happen at the other end.
Facebook said that “When your Page updates to the new Pages experience, all Page content including posts, photos, videos, stories and Groups your page is an Admin of will automatically move to your new Page.” Along with transferring over the content, the number of followers you have gained will also carry over.
Along with that, you will also be able to switch between your own Facebook profile and the business page. Facebook has provided updated management tools that allow the admin to give access to other users to manage the page.
How to Change Your Name on Facebook
Since you are wondering how to change your name on Facebook, let us dive right in. Please note that this should be done on the desktop version and not on the Facebook app.
Name change requests are not granted immediately. There is a process that you must follow so that Facebook can verify and ratify the change. Here is what you need to do:
Logging into Facebook
The first step is to log onto Facebook. You will have to log into the desktop app by entering your Facebook password and email.
To make any changes to your Facebook Business page, you will need to have your password readily available. It will prompt you to enter it before Facebook can start the verification process.
Another thing to note is that an admin must have Facebook access with full control of the business page to make any changes.
Navigating Your Profile
After entering your password, Facebook will take you to your feed. You will then look to the left side of your profile to locate the “Pages” tab.
