Social Media Today reports that Facebook just gave users another management platform, the purpose of which is to make it simpler for small businesses to manage both their Insta and Facebook activity from one place. It's called Facebook Business Suite.

The new Business Suite interface combines all your Instagram and Facebook Page profile options in one space. This upgrade is available on both desktop and a new mobile app. With the new feature, you'll be able to save time posting across both platforms and then manage those posts from one location rather than having to hop around repeatedly between two. That should make communicating with visitors more efficient. You'll also be able to find all messages and notifications in that new location - although, you could already do that via Pages Manager. Not only that, but you'll be able to view performance data for posts across both platforms yep, you've guessed it - in the single new location.
