Common questions
Why doesn’t Vibe support boosted brand posts on Instagram, but does support promoted posts (for example, Instagram Ads)?
Promoted posts integrate with the Meta Ads API, allowing Vibe to manage and optimize them seamlessly. Boosted posts, however, are managed directly on Instagram, and Meta does not provide API support for third-party platforms to handle them.
