A new professional mode for Facebook Profiles allows users to make money using features that were previously exclusive to Facebook Pages.
In addition, Facebook Pages are getting new capabilities that were only available through the Facebook Business Suite and third-party apps.
Here’s more about all the updates rolling out to businesses and professionals on Facebook.

Facebook plans to expand Reels to more countries next year.
Features from pages come to profiles
Professional mode Makes Facebook profiles more like pages.
With this mode activated, anyone can follow and see your public content on their feed without sending you a friend request.
However, you will still control who can see the content in individual posts.
With every post you make, you can choose whether it goes public or if it’s only visible to friends.
This is being tested with a limited number of profiles starting today in the US, with plans to expand to more users soon.
Professional mode will be available in more countries in the coming months, and more tools will be added including more monetization options.
