Overview
VIBE supports both Facebook Business and Instagram Personal accounts.
The Business Facebook Account is strongly recommended for optimal use with VIBE. By utilizing this account type, you’ll benefit from increased stability and gain access to additional features. To better understand the distinctions between Business and Personal Facebook Accounts, please refer to our comprehensive comparison article.
After your account connection has expired, if you wish to display posts, you will need to reconnect your accounts to continue using them with VIBE. This is based on Facebook and Instagram policy.
We will send two email reminders before the expiration date (3 days and 12 hours prior) to ensure you remember to refresh your account.
