In this week’s Platform Five: Say goodbye to Facebook Analytics
What’s changed in the last seven days? What does it mean?
Facebook is saying goodbye to Facebook Analytics, LinkedIn adds new profile features, and TikTok launches a new playlist feature.
Let’s take a look at these changes in more detail.
Facebook is saying goodbye to analytics
Facebook has announced that Facebook Analytics will no longer be available on pages after June 30. This means pages will lose the ability to access reports and export data. After June 30, page managers will be able to access insights in Facebook Business Suite.

Facebook announces new comment and Newsfeed sorting tools
The most notable of Facebook’s new features is the ability for users to order their News Feeds either chronologically or algorithmically. In addition to this, users will have increased control in restricting who can comment on posts and more context for understanding how Facebook algorithms work.

TikTok launches new ‘Playlists’ feature
The new feature enables creators to “group their TikTok clips into themed collections.” Eventually, it will be available for Creator and Business accounts, providing the opportunity to create longer, thematic content, or even product tutorials and explainers.
