Facebook Account ownership issue - Inherited accounts

Hi All,I’m looking to see if anyone has ever had the issue where one of the business pages they’ve inherited is owned by an account you don’t have access to? I’m an admin on the page, but it’s giving me issues with syncing our instagram, because it says I need an admin from the account that owns the page to approve.We’ve sent a request but it’s quite possible all the accounts associated with the account that owns the page are dormant or no longer active. Curious if anyone’s had an issue like this, or any suggestions on how to resolve?

TikTok changes

We had major success with my business on Tiktok-hitting 200k views a WEEK. However, now-within the past 4 weeks- it has gone completely flat. We are lucky if we get 1,000 views per video. And we have changed NOTHING! Still using viral hashtags, posting at the right times, following the trends, etc. Has anyone else gone through this? Did the algorithm drastically change? ANY advice or information will help. Thanks!

TikTok for Business

Did you know that TikTok has a hub for business users? I was browsing through it just now and found so much insight in the Learning tab under Blog and How-to videos. There is even a Small Business Center.There are so many great 5 minute tutorials that I ultimately spent a little too much time on TikTok over the past hour of my workday. Oops.Check it out here: TikTok for Business

There's no way to disable comments on Twitter, right?

I can’t seem to find anything online other than natively on the platform, you can turn off “anyone can reply.”

Instagram is launching a physical store! Are you going?

As you all know there has been a major focus on social commerce and Instagram has been leading the way for years. Their platform is the perfect place to mix inspiration and your credit card together. I recently heard of them hosting a physical shop pop up this weekend in NYC. Curious on people’s thoughts? Is it more publicity or are they testing out a new way to extend their commerce approach?

TikTok's new Insights tool

Has anyone else seen/used this yet? Yesterday TikTok released a new insights experience dedicated to stats and data around community behavior, interests, and how they connect and feel about brands.Personally, I love TikTok’s transparency with their data and how users are using the tool. Combining these available insights with owned will really help drive a solid content strategy. What stats + insights stand out to you the most?

Instagram 'story tap back'

Does this metric account for ‘unique users’ or not?

Facebook Organic Carousels

Is anyone else experiencing issues with organic carousels on Facebook? When we create an organic carousel through the Page Posts feature on Business Manager, images from the website link pulls through into the carousel once it is published instead of the images which we uploaded. It is very odd because this only happens when we use our website links, but when we use external links the carousel publishes perfectly. We’ve reached out to Facebook Support but they have no managed to resolved this issue.

Facebook New Pages Experience and Sprout Integration

For months now, after moving our Facebook page to the New Pages Experience, Sprout’s super customer service team has been trying to figure out why we can’t reply to Facebook private messages via Sprout. Of course, now we’re all at the mercy of Facebook’s support team figuring things out on their end, so it’s been a long-term holding pattern (Sprout does a great job of checking back in with me as we wait).I’m mostly wondering if anyone else has run into this brick wall and if you’ve seen a resolution to it? I can reply to private messages with no issue within native Facebook platforms. I can reply to Facebook comments and Instagram comments and DMs via Sprout, too. It’s just Facebook PMs that are the problem.

Thoughts on Twitter testing a status update?

So Twitter is bringing back the testing of its status project! This feature allows you to share with your followers what you’re currently doing or working on. It certainly gives me OG Facebook vibes. Would people use this? So curious on your thoughts!
