Meta introduced a new 'Budget optimization' view that shows how budget changes could affect key metrics. It adds 'Actual' and 'Estimated' columns in ads reporting, displaying estimated cost per result and results over 7 days. It also provides a recommended budget. This helps when scaling campaigns by offering insights on budget impact.
Meta added 'Device platform' to 'Value rules', letting advertisers adjust bids based on mobile vs. desktop users. Value rules help prioritize audiences or conditions that matter more to a business without excluding others. For example, if desktop users have higher lifetime value, advertisers can increase bids for them. This helps guide ad delivery toward more valuable segments using data-driven decisions.
Meta is replacing the 'Post engagement' type with 'Interactions', which now optimizes only for likes, comments, shares, and saves, unlike the old type that included video plays, photo views, link clicks, and more. This change means fewer reported results at higher costs but helps balance ad delivery across formats, reducing bias toward video ads and fragmentation.

Meta added an option in Ads Manager to create a new campaign by duplicating a high-performing one. When creating a campaign, you can start from scratch or choose from up to 3 suggested campaigns based on comparisons with similar businesses. Meta also offers to enable Advantage+ recommendations, which you can customize by deselecting specific options.
Meta is expanding Reels Trending Ads to more advertisers. Automatic catalog access notifications will grant full catalog access to more business members, adjustable in Business Manager. Meta offers free 1-click CAPI Gateway demos to show campaign impact, available via Partner center in Business Suite. Threads Ads will support more formats, including carousel, 4:5 ratio, Advantage+ catalog, and App ads testing.
Meta added a new 'Instagram follow' metric allowing advertisers to create custom metrics like Instagram follow rate and cost per Instagram follow. These insights are available immediately without optimizing for Instagram follows. Cost per follow is more relevant when optimizing for profile visits. Both metrics can be added and viewed at campaign, ad set, and ad levels without running specific profile visit ads.
Meta Ads Manager's 'Conditional formatting' now supports more IF columns, expanding beyond 'Cost per result', 'ROAS', 'CPM', 'CTR', and 'CPC'. Users can create multiple rules in Ads Manager for colorful reports that highlight min and max values, improving data analysis. This update aligns conditional formatting in Ads Manager with Ads Reporting features.
The new 'Instagram follows' metric is rolling out to more Meta ad accounts, allowing customization of Meta ads reports to include it. It shows the number of Instagram follows attributed to ads at campaign, ad set, and ad levels. While you can't optimize for followers yet, you can track which ads convert users into followers. This metric reveals audience interest and helps analyze conversion from profile visits to follows.
Meta improved managing site links for Meta ads, making it easier to add, edit, or delete links. Previously, editing required removing and re-adding links, which was cumbersome. Now, there is a toggle to disable site links and a 'Manage site links' button for quick edits, including thumbnails, titles, and URLs. The user suggests adding the ability to save and select sets of site links from a dropdown for future ads.
