Tips
- Check campaign insights regularly
Open the app and review the detailed real-time insights for your campaigns to keep track of activity while away from your desk. Comparing what you see across campaigns can help you decide which area needs attention. The description presents insights as a central feature, so they are a practical place to start when you need a quick overview.
- Use alerts to stay informed
The app can send quick alerts to let you know what is happening with your ads. If you rely on these notices, look in the app’s Settings for notification controls and review the notification options available to you. Keeping alerts relevant can make it easier to notice campaign activity without opening the app repeatedly.
- Compare campaigns side by side
Use the side-by-side comparison view to look across campaigns and ad sets. This can make differences easier to see than opening each item separately, especially when you are checking activity on a phone. The description identifies comparison as a built-in tool, so look for it when deciding which campaign or ad set to review.
Menu names follow the developer's help pages and can differ slightly between versions and phones.
How we write the digest
Each week we check the Google Play listings of the apps our readers use most: the version number, the update date and the developer's What's new notes. When an app has a new version, we put the developer's update notes and the listing details together on one page, in plain words, with a link to the official Google Play listing. Google and most developers release updates in stages over several days, so a version listed here may not have reached your phone yet. GoCompareNow is an independent site and is not affiliated with any developer. This page doesn't read your phone or your Google account, and nothing is installed from here.
FAQ
Is this the official list of Meta Ads Manager changes?
No. This is an independent site and is not affiliated with Meta Platforms, Inc. The app’s Google Play page is the authority for its current description and release notes. Check that page for the listing shown for your app, then use its available install or update option if you want this build.
Why does Google Play show Open instead of Update?
Google Play may show Open when the latest version is already available to your account, or before an update reaches everyone through a staged rollout. Check the app’s Play page again later if you expected an update option. The listing’s availability can vary, so follow what Google Play offers for the app.
Can I manage more than one ad account?
The app description says you can switch between Pages and ad accounts, as well as create and edit ads across Meta technologies. Open the app and use its account or Page switcher to reach the workspace you need. Your available workspaces depend on the account access you use with Meta.
