Last year, Meta removed the option to view Ads Manager updates from the help menu. Previously, you’d click the “?” icon at the bottom left…
And then a tray would emerge from the right with a link to Ads Manager Updates.
While it’s still not listed there, you can access the feed of updates. And even though we’re not getting as much volume of these updates as we did a year ago, it seems to be picking up now.
The Workaround
Here’s a simple workaround to access these updates. While in Ads Manager, go to the address bar. After “campaigns?” in the URL, remove everything else and paste the following:
launch_help_tray=RELEASE_NOTES
Hit enter, and you should see the Ads Manager updates on the right.
I’m getting a couple of updates for April and a couple more for March.
Recent Updates
Here are the most recent two…
Show ads on Instagram profile reels
You can now advertise within the Reels feed of public Instagram profiles. Meta’s delivery system will place your ads in profiles where they’re likely to perform best.
Opt In to Notifications on Messenger
We are introducing the ability to opt into receiving notifications on Messenger about your ad or ad account.
These updates can be really helpful for keeping up with changes. Another way to keep up, of course, is to keep following my videos!
