Group Insights

With this feature, admins will be able to see real-time metrics around growth, engagement and memberships such as the number of posts and times that members are most engaged.

Membership request filtering

Thanks to this feature, Group admins can sort and filter membership requests on common categories like gender and location, and then accept or decline all at once.

Removed member clean-up

Sometimes it becomes necessary for admins to take certain actions to keep their community safe. With this feature group admins can now remove a person and the content they've created within the group, including posts, comments and other people added to the group, in one step.

Scheduled posts

Group admins and moderators can create and conveniently schedule posts on a specific day and time.

Group to group linking

Facebook has already started to test group-to-group linking, which allows group admins to recommend similar or related groups to their members.

Facebook also celebrated some of the groups which have helped people across the world in various aspects of life.

Some of these groups include Lady Bikers of California started by Terri Hendricks, Affected by Addiction Support Group led by Matthew Mendoza and Bethel Original Free Will Baptist Church operated by Kenneth Goodwin.
