Facebook has launched its official iPhone app for managing Pages. After a slow rollout throughout other parts of the world, Facebook Pages Manager for iPhone is free and available now in the U.S. App Store. If you manage Pages on Facebook, this app will let you check statistics, post, comment, and more on the go.
Pages Manager helps admins connect with their audience and keep up with activity on multiple Pages, all in one place.
Features:
– Post new updates and photos as your Page
– Get notified about new activity on your Page when it happens, no matter where you are
– Respond, post and comment as your Page while you’re on-the-go
– Manage all your Facebook Pages from one app
– View your latest Page InsightsJust install Pages Manager and then log in using Facebook to quickly access and manage all of your Pages from wherever you are.
Unfortunately, the new app is only available on the iPhone.
Facebook’s official iOS app doesn’t let you manage Pages, so the Pages Manager app fills that need. One glaring omission from the app is the ability to check Page messages. Facebook will hopefully fix bugs and add more functionality in the next update. You can get Facebook Pages Manager for free in the App Store.
Update: Readers are saying that the app is showing up in the App Store, but you can’t actually download it at this time. Facebook seems to have pulled it again right after going live. Check back for updates.
