Workplace from Meta Reviews

by AimeliseFL

I turn on the sounds/vibrate option and it turns right off after I leave that menu and then go back in to check. The in-app sounds work but not the sound notification settings. And yes I have all the right iphone settings turned on. Always have. If you contact support they tell you to contact your tech support with your company. It’s only WorkplacefromMeta, nothing else. My iPhone is updated. Poor support. Unsteady app. It’s not the only issue and I’m not the only one. Maybe a poor review will get noticed.

App allows no picture-in-picture, whether it was iPadOS before or iOS now, which allows it now natively everywhere as part of iOS14 (you on other apps now know this). On iOS, if you have the Workplace app installed, you are FORCED to watch any video through WorkplacefromMeta even on Safari. As a result, picture-in-picture is prohibited.

So much for productivity in the literal workplace via multitasking. Reality is people are motivated just to “tune in” for the first second in case there’s some kind of audit (knowing Facebook); then get back to what they need to do.

Workplace is ok as a collaboration tool for very small groups, less than 10 people. But it’s not a true Intranet and it doesn’t appear Facebook plans to make it a true Intranet. They spend more time developing diverse skin tones than adding any real functionality, like fixed department pages and document management. Everything exists as a post, and with groups with more than a few people those posts can disappear very quickly.

It’s the cheapest of the intranet-style solutions, and you get what you pay for.

Workplace is a great way to drive engagement while also offering resources such as Knowledge Articles/FAQ’s, chat/FaceTime/soft phone, and outlets to drive creativity and team building!

Would like to see future upgrades include focus on ability to share a post link with multiple connections without getting flagged immediately. If this is internal use, spam would be identified differently than a pure open forum without restrictions on membership.

Some features are undersold such as the ability to make calls and FaceTime through workplace messenger.

I love workplace! The only problem is getting everyone in with their email addresses. Once we got them in, always fine but getting them in was a real hard issue.
It is so much easier to be able to communicate with my teams and see what they are talking about as well the same time. It’s also great to be able to watch several teams work together all at once. Great for someone who ever see you several teams like I do!

I find Facebook Workplace very useful to collaborate with my teams, especially the freelancers who work with us for various projects. As a matter of fact, I couldn’t get any of the other apps to work with outside consultants (except Asana.) I also enjoy the simplicity and ability to share different types of content. I don’t think I want a separate Chat App though... so would highly recommend consolidating and integrating the chat within the Workspace, and not belabor the users with notifications about downloading the chat app. If you do that, this becomes an instant 5-star app!!

While a basic user, the ability for the admin to delete inactive accounts or for the user to remove there own is absent from the feature list until you activate premium access. This seems like a fundament tool for the basic membership to be useful. I understand third party integration to be attached to the high tier but not sure removing accounts or being able to delete your own.

Technology is only getting smarter, which means we are going to be the smartest to learn about this technology!
So many people have no idea what’s really going on in this time and age!
No matter how old you are, if you’re not learning something new every day of some kind of a learning device, I feel really sorry for them!
Sincerely,
The Learner

The Workplace app has worked wonders for my business. If we don’t communicate, we don’t get connected to the right people. We use Facebook to be connected to news, memes, updates from family, and join groups to join other people that share the same ideas as us. With Workplace, we network in a way we’re all used to, the FB interface. A separate app for the private chat is the only reason why I give it a 4. It didn’t have to be like FB there with a separate app. Overall it is super solid, helpful, and easy to use since it has FB’s interface.

Always helps with giving a nice outlook for a campus with the activities and different work groups and really easy to maneuver the only thing I think would be better is on the home page you also put all the groups in the side of the screen not only just a few. Anyways lovely app though !

Workplace helps me know what’s going on, what’s important in the views of others, what I need to know, and how I can get better at collaboration and connection.

It’s easy to use and the mobile app eliminates all those email notifications.

I’ve found a variety of ways to get and share information, provide and learn insights, make better decisions, and drive results.

Great app 👍🏽 Love being able to connect with our incredible partners and leaders. Easy to use for the most. Serves its purpose for our team.

With the recent update, I no longer see the “Photos” tab when in our profile. Before the update I thought this was a great way to organize our photos and find them easily as well because they didn’t get lost in the timeline.

BUT I do see that we can still add photos to albums we created prior to the update when you are writing a post/adding a photo. Just click the drop down arrow at the top, and choose the the album you want these pics to be added to.

Workplace is a wonderful App / Program to connect my students with me virtually and expands the capabilities of teaching to vIrtual and in person students! It also has applications to help group classes as well. I am glad I found it to help continue to teach during this health crisis and bring new experiences to my students to make teaching more effective.

Workplace. Wow. It works. Remember to call it Workplace, not WorkSpace (LOL). And it works much the same as external Facebook. Obviously it's perfect for internal Facebook. I could definitely see this tool very useful for social engagement within any large company. With the ability to create highly engaging work groups or even common interest groups, such as dogs, or DCI Drumlines, or even capybaras. There is something for everyone. Every medium to large company needs an internal Wiki and a Workplace!

I think it would be very beneficial to be able to schedule a post for a future time or date. Even maybe to schedule a post for each day indefinitely. Users choice. Many times my managers need to communicate important information daily but forget sometimes due to the hectic nature of the job. Food for thought. Love WorkplacefromMeta .

Just wanted to say thank you Facebook and WWDB management team for partnering up. It’s really cool to see other people’s dreams, ambitions, goals, and motivations. I like how there is no advertisement. There is no judgement and there isn’t “trolling” which really makes a difference. Both companies are positively changing the way North Americans help the world and make it a better place. I’m really grateful and appreciative to have this feature on my phone and it’s one of a kind! I love it! Thank you!

WorkplacefromMeta is far more than just an app to an All-In-WWDB. This is a gateway to positivity for those of us that are feeling down and depressed. This is a holy place where so many great people come to love each other, motivate one another, inspire their teammates, Grow their Dreams. WorkplacefromMeta is one of the essential tools for an All-In-WWDB to not only grow themselves positively but to help others grow by sharing those great moments of achievement and those Mountainous DREAMS that will one day move mountains. Thank you for creating WorkplacefromMeta and god bless.

Our team loves workplace by Facebook. What is wonderful about it, is that this is a more professional platform to keep things business and not personal. Definitely worth the investment with your team to keep the drama out And the business focus. We also love all the wonderful plug-ins that you can add to Workplace by Facebook. And probably the most amazing feature on Workplace by Facebook is the knowledge library. Our entire team loves it and it’s worth every penny.

This has helped my business tremendously. I have a small startup growing company. This helped my business to be well organized. Managed employee task and projects. Assigned a manager to employee profile. Create new group pages. Do training in groups and classes. I am very happy that I came across WorkplacefromMeta. I am happy that it’s free. Because this is working and growing my company one step at a time. It’s a startup company I have I don’t have much money to work with it. I really appreciate the free products produced by this company.

I have been a member of Workplace since I accepted my current FE Coach position and it has been an amazing tool. This is one of the most efficient ways of networking and finding other resources when your local sources are not able to fulfill your need. I enjoy the friendly competition, encouraging posts and motivation this platform brings to others and the many ideas that are shared for us to add excitement to our store and Market but also a way to share your associates wins and provide ideas and assistance to theirs in need. SIMPLY AMAZING!

I love the idea of a business related social media. I wish there was a way to sync my Facebook business page to my workplace account. I wish bot building would be easier. I have spent 2 days trying to configure a bot and all failed. I love the aspect of all company based email addresses can login without a invitation. A custom login page with company's logos would be more friendly.

by Cathy Toryk

I absolutely love WorkplacefromMeta. The fact that I can not only read what’s going on in other states but also upcoming topics and news.
My favorite 2 pages are Coffee Knowledge and Armed Forces. But I really enjoy every one of the pages. Especially Miss Angi😃
Workplace lets me feel speak and read information from my work family on a daily basis.
Thank you
