How to Comment on a Facebook Page Administered by You as Your Personal Profile (Not as the Page)

As a Facebook page admin, sometimes you might want to comment on your page using your personal account rather than the page itself. This can be particularly useful for personal touch, clarifications, or simply sharing your own thoughts. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Log Into Your Personal Facebook Account

To start, make sure you are logged in to your personal Facebook account. This is crucial for the next steps.

2. Navigate to Your Administed Page

Login to Facebook and go to the Facebook page you administer. If you have multiple pages, you can find them in the Pages section of your Facebook account.

3. Switch to Your Personal Profile

Look for the profile icon or your page’s profile picture in the comment box. Click on it to see the option to switch to your personal profile. If you don’t see this button, click on the three dots next to the comment box and select Comment as Yourself.

4. Post Your Comment

Once you have switched to your personal profile, you can type your comment in the comment box. After you're done, click the post button. Ensure your comment appears under your personal profile and not the page itself.

5. Confirm Your Comment

After posting, check to ensure that your comment appears under your personal profile rather than the page.

6. Confirm With Page Admins

Note that only page admins can see the comment is posted as your personal profile; other users will see it as Posted by the Page Name.

Another Method to Like a Facebook Post as a Personal Profile

If you want to like a post after checking it, follow these steps:

1. Open the Post

Go to the Facebook post you want to like and locate the share button.

2. Click on Your Page’s Profile Pic

Near the share button, click on your page’s profile picture. This will direct you to see the post as your page and as your profile.

3. Confirm with Your Profile Name

Click on your profile name. This will ensure you like the post using your personal account.

Additional Tips for Managing Your Facebook Page

Facebook provides you with an option to select the account type (Personal or Business) while posting or commenting on anything on the page you manage. You just need to select the one you want to use. I have selected the personal account, and the things have changed accordingly.
If you want, you can permanently change the setting of commenting on:

Permanent Change Settings:

Go to the Settings of your page. Under Page Preference, find the option to Set Commenter Identity. Select the preference that suits your needs.
