Is Meta Business Suite is freaking frustrating to use or am I just stupid?
My needs for Facebook page is really simple: I need to schedule image posts, sometimes several images a post. And right now I can’t do any of these things:
* *add caption for each image in a scheduled post*: if there are more than one image, there’s no option to add caption for each of them. I have to set my alarm to add after they’re posted.
* *add scheduled images straight to an album*: again, I have to set my alarm to add them. *and* if I have a post with multiple images, I can’t add it to an album on my laptop, I have to go to the Facebook app on my phone
* *add multiple images to an album*: I just can’t figure out how to select multiple images to add/move to an album at once, one thing I remember I could do back in the day where “Meta Business Suite” wasn’t even a thing
* *move images that belong in a post to another album*: if I add a post with >1 images to an album, that’s a done deal. I can’t figure out how to move it, or any of the image to another album
* *select multiple images to rearrange them in an album*: every time I want to rearrange any image, I have to drag them through a plethora of other images. doesn’t help that the thumbnails get so big for caption editing. and if I let go of my mouse, the page just reloads. I have to find my image in the sea of image again and drag through everything. it’s so tiring. and yeah I have to do it one by one…Sorry for the rant. I feel like these functions are all basic and we should be able to do them in the Suite or on our pages without that much sweat and tears.
Again, maybe there are obvious solutions and I’m just being stupid. **If you know any solution to any point I have above, please share**. I’ve even tried paid tools but nothing has helped so far. I’m really exhausting right now. Thanks guys.

I don’t know you well but you don’t seem stupid. Meta Business Suite is a frustrating poor user experience.

It’s absolute shit and I hate using it.
-
It’s a monstrosity to use.
I conduct all of my social media work off an iPhone and holy bejeezus. Pray to god you don’t end up like me. Such a monumental task just to submit information and such when the app barely works and the website hates mobile layouts.

And the iOS app hasn’t been able to clear notifications for months. I had to turn off notification badges. MBS sucks.

Terrible UI and UX.
It is a nightmare to get anything done on the platform even as simple as looking at certain analytics. Not to mention their support team for ads is non-existent.

It’s a HORRIBLE app! I hate that I have to force quit it every.single.time to see if I have new notifications, sometimes 2-3 times before it finally updates. Some notifications come through, some don’t.
Same issue with trying to pay for ads on Instagram. First I have to find wherever they have moved the payment section to that month. Then make 5-6 attempts which results in “payment not gone through” “partial payment gone through” “page not loading” ands finally it works. This isn’t occasionally it’s each and every single time.

It’s been garbage since day 1

It is only good for certain things
-
It’s a nightmare. You’re not alone.
-
It’s almost like they do it on purpose
-
Nope, it’s just a poorly done UI. Very poorly done.
-
Meta can f**#k right off. Why do you need a Facebook page for your business if your only posting on Instagram. It’s so backwards and complicated.
-
It fucking sucks
-
Not just you. I feel the anxiety rush over me even just thinking about using it. I feel stupid when I use it, like it’s a rubix cube that needs to be solved but the colours are missing on each square.

It used to be good till they kept improving it ????
