Manage Facebook Page on Android

Maybe I’m behind, or just chalk this up to me being incredibly dumb, but when I first heard about Facebook’s update to their Android App a few months ago and that it contained a way to update Pages, I was really happy. That is, until I tried to figure out how to do it. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure it out. Someone said you needed to find it in the update stream and access it that way. However, if it wasn’t in the stream, there didn’t seem to be a good way to access it.

Lo and behold, I found it! If you’ve been looking too, it’s like this.

  1. Go to the Facebook menu page that gives you the news feed, friends, profile, etc.. options
  2. Click on “Friends”
  3. Click “Pages” at the bottom and your pages (the ones you are an admin on) should show up

It seems pretty easy and in reality, I didn’t put a ton of time into it other than a simple Google search after I didn’t initially figure it out. What I’m wondering though is why they just didn’t create a menu item like on the iPhone.

At any rate, hope that helps someone.

    Pages don’t show up at the bottom of my Friends tab.  Am I missing something….?

    • sorry I missed this comment until now.

      hrm, you’re running the latest version of the facebook app on an updated android? (just to make sure we’re both using the same thing)

      If so, I go to the main menu page, where it has news feed, profile, friends, etc…

      when i click what i get at the bottom is 3 tabs that say “friends” “pages” “requests”….perhaps its a feature that is being rolled-out? I’l try to get a picture of it to upload, as my android deviced isn’t rooted and won’t let me do a screenshot of what I’m seeing.

        Yeah, I think I have the previous update of Facebook for Android.  I tried to update a few weeks ago but it wouldn’t load and the ratings were terrible so I decided not to try.  I’ll keep checking the updates and hopefully they’ll  get the bugs worked out soon.  Thanks for the response.

    Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU! Absolutely horrible that the released and said it supported Pages, yet gave NO information about HOW to use this functionality, and it certainly was NOT obvious!

  3. Thank you so much for this post.  I have been frustrated to no end trying to manage my page AS my organization.  You made me a very happy camper. :)
