Meta announces six updates to Facebook Groups that allow users to share more types of content and administrators to effectively manage their community.
The six new tools and features available in Facebook groups include:
Facebook Group Drums.
Share Facebook Group Events in Instagram Stories
Facebook Group profile customization
Recognizing Facebook Group community members
Updates to the Admin Assistant utility
Allow group members to post content tagged by Facebook
1.Drums up Facebook Groups.
Facebook users can now create and share reels exclusively within groups.
Previously, to share a Reel to a Facebook Group, you would first have to post it somewhere else on Facebook and then share that post with the group.
Now you can upload a reel directly to a group, which is perfect for private communities.
2.Share Facebook event to Instagram
You can now share Facebook Group event links to your Instagram story.
This feature is available to group members and administrators and can be an effective way to grow your community.
З. Customize Facebook Group Profiles.
You can now customize the Facebook Group section about yourself to highlight any information with the community.
In addition, there is now an option for admins and members to add an indicator to their profile that they are open for messages. This signals to other members that you are interested in one-on-one communication.
4.Recognizing Facebook Group community members
Facebook is testing a new way for admins to highlight the best group members. Members can contribute by taking an active role with a set of responsibilities in the community or by getting feedback and comments on posts.
In a similar test, Facebook is working on a way for administrators to recognize group members who go out of their way to make others feel welcome.
5.Updates to support the admin
Facebook is updating its existing Admin Assist tool with more ways to moderate and take action on content.
Group admins now have the ability to automatically move posts containing information judged to be false by third parties to pending posts. This allows administrators to review posts before they are deleted.
Facebook will help group administrators understand how Admin Assist helps them manage their community with a new daily digest. The daily digest provides a summary of actions taken by Admin Assist in the community based on criteria set by administrators.
6.Allow group members to post content under the Facebook banner
Facebook is testing an option that allows eligible group administrators to use their judgment when it comes to allowing content flagged by Facebook’s automatic moderation system.
