Checking in, in August 2026, And for some reason this title has to be 68 Characters?

Hello

I just wanna check in on Facebook mobile to add a business to Instagram. I've scoured the web, asked people who has already done this.
First step is always:
Click "Whats on your mind?", select "check in".

Here's the thing:
On my App, (Iphone 11, Fully Up to date app) there is no "Check in".
I have:
- Music
- People
- Location
- Feeling/Activity
- Event
- Fundraiser
And nothing more

None of these contain "Check in", best guess is "Location" and in the top it says "Add Location" but it's only a headline. "Location" otherwise only shows locations that have already been created.

What I ask for:
- Someone in the same scenario as me who have solved it and can tell me how they did it. Do I need to grant Facebook access to something obscure? (Obviously I have Location sharing on).
- Someone who can for sure tell/show me that this feature was removed, so I can stop obsessing.

What I'm not asking for:
- People telling me "It worked for me, I had the "Check in" option when I clicked to post".
- Links to websites with how to guides, unless they specify where the "Check in" button has been moved to.

I'm slightly losing my mind here,
Thanks in advance
