In March 2024, Facebook deprecated a few metrics of Insights API, impacting a wide range of metrics used by marketers and businesses to track their page performance. Among these changes, the deprecation of the "page_engaged_users" metric stands out as a critical update for everyone who relies on this data.
Yep, it’s a bummer, but hey, what’s a bootstrapped startup to do? We adapt, and keep on innovating!
