I love Facebook for the fact that it enabled me to get back in touch with a lot of friends about whom I had not contact information. It also enables me to get to get updates about my friends and family.
Facebook is one of the top in social networking apps, infact it shaped the current social media world. With it you can share text, pictures and videos in your posts. Along with posts users can also share temporary stories that delets after a day by itself. It has a very smart search and scanning algorithm due to which it gives you very precise suggestions about people you may know. It can also identify people (most of the times) in a photo that are not already tagged in it. Apart from social communications it is also widely used for marketing by businesses. It has a dedicated messenger app through which you can not only send texts and make audio/video calls but also send files to other contacts.
As facebook is the biggest social networking software, it is flooded with a lot of irrelevant posts including political propagandas, religious and ethnic hate and false news and information, which is something that Facebook administration needs to step up its efforts to mitigate by apply filters and effectively banning involved users.

Meta has been a great tool for increasing traffic to my website. As I stated above, the UI needs to be improved to speed up the process of ad creation.
The ease of use in finding a radius to target with ads, as well as the ease-of-use in launching the ads themselves.
The UI (user inerface) in the backend seems very convoluted, as is the process of connecting a website by embedding code.

Through it, I save a lot of time and earn a lot of money because I promote my products with ease and comfort and reach the largest possible segment.It's good and I recommend it.
What distinguishes this platform is the ease of use with the ability to reach a large and accurate audience, where you can choose the audience according to its interests, standard of living, or financial ... with the ability to specify the place and the target area, the possibility of retaining the audience or obtaining a similar audience, and many features

In fact, I have achieved wide spread in my work and made good profits from it
It is easy to use and any person, organization or company can deal with it. The reports it gives us are complete and distinctive, and its statistics are very real.
Sometimes I cannot be sure of the results of campaigns due to fake profiles that are registered in ads

I love the scheduling options - to post directly to Instagram and Facebook easily throughout the calendar month.
I dislike that we cannot post newspaper articles or news anymore. That was really important for non-profit organizations to be able to share these pieces.

Using the Meta Business suit has been amazing for me.
one thing I find fascinating about Meta Business Suite is that I can use a day to plan and schedule a week's post without having to do it on a daily basis. That is normally a time saver for me.
When you try to change a business account to another business account it is difficult.

Solid but not my pick for social media management.
Fairly easy to use. It does an adequate job of scheduling posts. Very good for social media monitoring.
Not as robust as other offerings such as Hey Orca. A good product to provide the basics but better more advanced offerings are out there.

Overall, my experience with facebook has been quite good. It has helped me reconnect with a lot of people I had lost touch with. Secondly, the first three investors we got to partner us in setting up our practice first discovered and contacted us via facebook. Finally, facebook helps me back up all my memorable pictures and videos in its gallery albums feature, which I can conveniently set to private for my personal view only.
Creating an account is extremely easy in a just a few simple steps. Before we were able to afford our own website for our private practice, we relied entirely on the business page we had created on facebook to ensure that we were discoverable online. And this helped us a lot in getting new clients and finding partners to invest in our practice. For personal use, the ease with which facebook was able to help me find long lost friends and family has been one of my high points of using the software.
I think facebook should allow for users to officially own more that just one account. As someone who likes to keep my professional and personal lives as separate as possible, facebook's one account policy makes it extremely inconvenient for me. Secondly, I think facebook messenger should become less integrated with the facebook app itself; so that I could be in the app without appearing online to other users. A dark mode would be the easiest way to achieve this, I think.

Meta for Business is well-worth your time. It allows you to easily streamline your posts and content into daily, weekly, or monthly posts. You can see them on a calendar clearly, even the posts you sent out earlier (they're just darkened out a bit). I've used it to respond to messages, comments, schedule a month of content posts, and shape posts for my audience demographics.
Meta for Business is a social media content management service that allows you to schedule posts, ads, see audience demographics and statistics, and respond to interactions and messages. It feels like Facebook and Instagram combined into one platform, though without the content feeds from either. For me, this is great. I spend less time scrolling through social media, and more time planning ahead. Meta...
The software is easy to use, but sometimes the Instagram messages and notifications are weird. It'll tell me I have a notification, but it'll be a few weeks old. When I click on the notification, it doesn't go away. I've done advertisements through the software, and while it comes back and shows me statistics of who has clicked on my links, I've never received comments or interactions other than the ones it says I have. It makes me wonder how effective an ad tool it actually is.

This is an epic fail in my humble opinion. From the moment Facebook purchased Instagram and then began to integrate the products, my job has gotten harder and harder as I adapt to the latest "features". Customer support consists of long waits for responses and blame for problems being pushed back onto the customer. I am eagerly awaiting a new product from another vendor with which I can replace this piece of junk.
I cannot say I like any features. This product is a huge waste of time and has cost me hours and hours of time trying to sort out conceptually simple issues.
As Meta transitions the equivalent functionality out of Facebook and Instagram and into Meta Business, they have made it virtually impossible to perform some basic functions such as scheduling an event without having to go through extra steps and iterations.

Facebook helped us achieve significant visibility for our business. It was so so easy to get personal friends and associates help in promoting the business pages and campaigns. The groups are also very useful for growing community and feeling a sense of belonging.
Facebook was very good at helping me find communities and resources that were useful for growing my business. The campaign insights were also very helpful in understanding my target demographics much more.
The results from my ad campaigns were quite inconsistent. On one ocassion, it would result in great reach and leads, and the next time half as much.

Facebook for business has given me a better understanding of how my business performs on an international level, and works far better than my website with more analytics and a wider audience through Facebook in my opinion
My most valued aspects of this software is the performance monitor. Knowing how my investment towards an ad performs in such detail is encouraging enough for me to pay for more add promotions. Being able to target your market so extensively also encouraged me as a business owner to understand my clientele and promoted my growth as an entrepreneur.
Navigation from the personal account to the business account by phone can be a bit complex at times, the business page and the business admin at times require that i have each on separate tabs...these being Facebook and Business Facebook, as its more on analytics and admin than managing ads and posts.

My experience is excellent. Advice for those who start on social networking sites sets a goal before me. It distracts the mind, markets in its field of competence, and will gain real followers. There is interaction that works in a field that you understand, not copying and pasting of the first degree, mastery and professionalism. Useless entertainment content is a waste of time in my opinion.
All Meta products are beautiful, WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram, beautiful for marketing. If you work for free, it will take you time in these global social networks. It will take you a lot of time. This is an excellent platform with experienceEasy, simple and secureSimple and easy content managementAds management and simple ad campaigns, according to me, you as a beginner are the best to learn....
Next cons:* There will be a delay in responding, for example, a person who made a comment or posted content, or a person who sent a message after hours, after which I receive the answer. This is a problem on Facebook.* Sometimes we use Facebook lite app, we are suddenly active, log out and log in automatically, we lose our activity in messages or comments

I use to enjoy using facebook and recommend it to all.
Facebook is the most popular and common medium for socialization. It provides you immense ways to connect with people all around the world, even you can make those people your friend, whom you never know. In the modern world where socialization is a dire need, people don't have so much time to visit one other's home and enjoy gossips rather people pay more attention to talk, share and enjoy while sitting...
Sometimes by liking different pages you can be spammed so need to take care of it and sometimes some unethical videos and posts, you will encounter so these are some bad points but by vigilantly using Facebook you can enjoy its full benefits.

Be it in a personal, professional, or business sense, Facebook helps me connect with like-minded people, form a community with them, share content with them, and even helps me find jobs and projects. It's a great social networking app if used in the right way.
A lot of people think that Facebook has become obsolete now, so they don't even have the app on their phones and rarely use it. In my opinion, Facebook is still a great app if one knows how to use it correctly. True, I don't post that often on my Facebook but I use it for so many different purposes - to network with people in the same industry like mine, for social media marketing, for personal and...
Like any other social networking app, Facebook has its share of privacy issues. I know that the choices I make on this site - what I like, what posts I comment on, what kind of posts I reshare - everything is being collected and given to advertisers and god knows who else. Moreover, like many other social networking sites, it can be addicting too. You may not be chatting with someone or doing something important but you don't even realize that you spent half an hour scrolling through the feed for absolutely nothing. But if you have that in control, it's a good app.

But over all Facebook is one of the best applications that I've been using it has a good feature that other applications don't have.. and everyday I'm using it even though sometimes I'm a bit moody I'll just open it soon my feeling back to normal cuz I can watched a lot of funny videos there.
Being a student is a bit stressful Because I have to do a lot things at school but Facebook is one of my favourite application to use, Because it gives me comfort in Facebook I can share to my friends and love ones about what happened to my day, I've watched a lot of videos such as inspirational, funny videos, watching my favourites streamer while playing their favourite games and by doing...
For 6 years that I've been using this the only problem that I can see is a lot of people is using this application to show some negative content videos like but it is so rare I think Facebook needs to do some action about it and last is they used social media to offend other people social status and its not a good thing because in real life other people are fighting about it .

In the initial day's Facebook posts and contents were healthy and prosperous, But nowadays it is filled with politics, racism, abuse and these are a sign of unhealthy social platform. Facebook need to do something to maintain its standard.
The platform is available in web and mobile version. The live steam of the gameplay is available. The live stream is a quick response within a few seconds. Find friends option based on an area filter help us to find a particular user easily. Edit profile option able the user to display the profile details and pictures as per the user wish. The user is allowed to share the post with public, friends or the only user can view. The user can tag their known persons in the post with tagging of the location. The user can react to the posts with an emoji reaction. The user can create a group and can join other groups according to public or private. The platform is also available in a lite version which consumes fewer internet data.
Help and support don't make any sense in resolving issues they won't listen to the user problem. Can find lots of fakes user without proper genuine identification. Privacy and policies are fair to the user which make the user feel vulnerable. Anyone can post anybody's picture and can abuse in comments. The platform is constrained to the blue coloured theme. Need to improve the localized level of community guidelines and local slangs used to abuse and bully. The platform needs to improve security, policy and community guidelines. Need to improve in the deployment of policies at the local level and understand the current and local situation in a particular society.

Overall I Find This Platform To Be VERY FRIENDLY and EASY to use ….. It Accommodates A Wide Range Of Purposes E.g. If you looking for entertainment: no problem Facebook Watch IS THERE if you looking to promote your business/page: no problem Facebook Has Advertising & Promoting if you looking to play games ,meet new people etc. THE LIST GOES ON …..AWESOME PLATFORM YOU SHOULD TRY IT OUT💯
This Social Platform Also Known As Facebook Has Really Help Me Grow As A Young Man...🙂 Growing Up I Used This Platform To Make New Friend Around The World..... but Mainly In My country. This Platform allowed Me To Interact With My Family AND Friends Which Always Made Me Very HAPPY because Their Were Some Family Members and Friends Who lived Out of Country and very far away. I Made A lot Of New Friends From This Platform A lot Of Them I am Still Friends With Today!!!😄 It Gave Me The Confident To Speak To Girls And APPRECIATED THAT A LOT TOO!!!💯
I Don't Really Have Any Cons Concerning Facebook …. They've Been Doing A Good Job Through their Updates On the Platform Which Has Fix Majority of The Issues I had With The Platform... But One Con I Could Say Is that When You Trying To Sell A Product On The Platform It ONLY allows You To Share Your Product too 20-21 Groups Max . I find that very annoying especially when you're trying to get your product to as much people as possible...

What I like least about Facebook is Facebook Jail. I understand there are rules against spam and I do not personally spam anyone but I posted in some groups and was banned for days. I feel like every site asking for your Facebook information is connecting a bit too many of our details together. The latest scandal was the cause of many of my friends to leave Facebook which saddened me because it was so much easier to just message them. Facebook for business is an area I will be utilizing more often as my needs grow but I heard it will be changing in the future. I am hoping all scandals are over. I will be watching for further developments.

Meta for Business has allowed us to invest in social media sites in order to distribute our ads and develop our client base, and the statistics and insights you provide allow us to learn from prior campaigns and plan properly for future efforts.

My overall experience with Facebook has been good. From time to time I tend to watch some UFC fighting videos or even comedy videos that other friends post as it's very engaging and wants me watching more. Facebook is a great platform to get your message out to millions of people if you need to. It encompasses everything from friends, family, gaming, advertising, events, groups, videos, photos, and more. I made my account when it first came out and I was impressed to see it.
Facebook has many different ways for advertisers to reach their prospects. One of them being paid advertisements. With Facebook insights, and Facebook groups pages and more, you are able to find amazing people in different places. Facebook is great in many aspects at the same time. It allows people to connect with friends and family, play video games, join events and more. For me specifically, it is a gold mine for advertising.
I dislike seeing spammy or scam posts from people in groups or even in a comment section of an advertisement. This needs to be stopped/prevented to ensure that the platform remains a safe space for everyone to use. A lot of people will post phone numbers in groups and pages to get people to network with them too buy stuff or scam them and I don't think that's a good idea at all.

Facebook is a very useful tool for the promotion of products, it is the most famous and accessed social network in the world, so being on Facebook means being close to a lot of people and this allows a good promotion of your company, the network has some problems that sometimes prevent this disclosure but that don't hurt that much but that if it weren't done it would be better.
Facebook is a very good and simple tool to use. It allows me to advertise my products, promotions and all types of content in an easy and simple way. This facility makes the platform used by many people and makes the use of this platform easily reach thousands of people. Facebook also has a good option for sponsored advertisements. In addition, it allows the creation of groups and the fixing of posts that facilitate the dissemination and obtaining of important content.
One of the main negative points of Facebook is the sudden change in the policy of priorities, sometimes Facebook randomly changes the reach of certain posts, pages and publications without very clear and specific reasons, this hurts companies that work to promote their products. . Sometimes the facebok also changes and updates some features that sometimes do not change anything and can get in the way, all on some cell phones only. Finally, the company has been involved in controversial political issues that may alienate some users by associating the company with a politicized view that is not always healthy.
