The American social media giant Facebook has redesigned its Page sections to make it easier to distinguish between personal and public profiles.

Facebook Pages are different from profiles and, they are intended for businesses, brands, organizations, and public personalities to share their stories and connect with people.

According to Facebook, the new Page design makes it easier to identify and manage activities. It allows users to follow others and share likes as well as comments on updates from one’s own Page. The new Page design is said to make it easier for businesses to understand actionable insights on content performance including audience trends.

The new Page redesign intends to make it easier for public figures and creators in India to build a community and achieve their business objectives on the platform. The overall design is believed to be more intuitive, with a cleaner appearance. It claims to make switching between a personal profile and a public Page more convenient. This feature is now available in India.

Facebook stated that Page conversations will now be available to wider audiences and surface more frequently in the followers’ News Feeds. It has also launched the ability to follow a Page directly from comments and recommendation posts. The social media platform is also adopting a new text-based Q&A format in order to encourage richer, engaged conversations.

As per the social giant, it has also updated task-based admin control, including the ability to clearly assign and manage admin access and allocate permissions based on specific tasks. Page admins can now control particular activities such as Insights, Ads, Content, Community Activity, and Messages with full or variable levels of access.
