Does not work for Facebook pages & directions are incorrect

Plugin does not work to embed a Facebook page in a Wordpress site. More importantly, the documentation at https://php.watch/articles/wordpress-facebook-instagram-oembed is not (now) correct. It claims "the new self-plug WordPress plugin oEmbed Plus brings back the support for Facebook and Instagram oEmbed using Facebook's new API endpoints" but if you go to Facebook, you learn that there is no longer an oembed option from Facebook "The oEmbed product has been replaced with the oEmbed Read feature. If you implemented the oEmbed product before June 8, 2021, you have until September 7, 2021 to complete App Review for the oEmbed Read feature. If you have not been approved for the oEmbed Read feature by September 7, 2021, your oEmbed implementations will fail to load."

The information on what to do to setup a Facebook App is incorrect - there is no option for "For Everything Else" and of course, no "Add Oembed" or even "Add OembedRead" option. No idea if there is any way to correct, anyone else have an idea?
