Location tagging in Sprout is no longer available for Facebook and Instagram

Facebook and Instagram no longer provide location search and tagging to third-party tools via the Content Publishing API. This means that you can't tag locations in your Facebook or Instagram posts using Sprout Social. This change comes from Facebook and Instagram to maintain the safety and integrity of the Instagram community. Moving forward, you can’t tag locations in your Facebook and Instagram posts in Sprout.

Showcase the impact of your social posts with the enhanced Post Performance Report

The Post Performance Report now shows a unified view of your social post performance across all networks, rather than viewing each network in isolation. This unlocks powerful reporting to share with your stakeholders, while providing more detailed data on your posts across different networks in a single view. Now you can see trends across all your networks with a report that cuts out the noise and hones in on the full view of your social performance.
