How to Change the Name of a Page with Facebook New Page Experience?

The Facebook new page experience is a new layout designed for brands, businesses, creators and other professionals to increase their social presence on Facebook.

The page experience was launched by Facebook on January 6, 2021. Before the launch of the new page experience pages were unable to interact freely and easily with their followers.

Between 2019 and 2020 when the new page experience was not yet introduced, Facebook updated pages by adding the ‘feed’ feature followed by the ‘Resources & Tools’ feature which was not good enough.

At that year there was a bug in the ‘feed’ feature where pages could not easily follow other pages and profiles unless it was suggested to them by Facebook so Facebook felt the importance of updating the feature.

Still in the same year 2020, Facebook decided to introduce the new page experience instead of updating the classic page experience which led to its introduction early 2021.

Since it’s launch users have been finding ways to switch while some lucky users are finding ways to switch back to the classic page experience.
