It was June 2022 when Facebook announced a new kind of group developed for parents in their community. This particular group type was introduced with some crazy features – one of these features was the ability to pose without revealing one’s identity. 

Although this was initially meant for different parenting groups, the feature became popular amongst other groups with members who wanted to post sensitive information without revealing their identity. As a result, it was only a matter of time, and soon more and more users on the platform began activating this feature in their groups.

What Do You Need To Know About Posting Anonymously? 

Before you spend time learning how to post anonymously on Facebook groups, it’s best that you check out some of the things that you must know before uploading anonymous posts on the platform. 

Here’s what you need to know about anonymous posts in Facebook groups! 

1. All types of anonymous posts need to be approved by the admins of the concerned Facebook group, even if the group’s post-approval has been turned off before. This is perfectly understandable since it actually keeps all the spammers away. 

2. Even if you post anonymously in a Facebook group, the admins and moderators of the group will be able to check your identity. At the same time, Facebook will also view your identity for enforcing their Community Standards.

3. Another thing about these anonymous posts is that certain posting formats have been disabled for protection purposes. This will save you from revealing your identity accidentally. Neither can you tag someone or even go live via these post formats.

Now that you have a fair idea about anonymous Facebook posts let’s find out how to post anonymously on Facebook. All you have to do is stick around till the very end and read on to find out all that you need to know about posting anonymously in Facebook groups. 

Post Anonymously in a Facebook Group:

In order to make an anonymous post in a Facebook group, you have to simply use any device that is supported by Facebook, like an iPad, iPhone, Mac, Windows, Linux, Android device, or even Chromebook. Here, we will check out the web version of Facebook for demonstrating the actual procedure.

In order to get started, you have to simply launch a website browser on your device and then navigate to the official Facebook site. Once the website loads, you have to click on ‘groups’ on the sidebar located on your left. 

The platform will then take you to the ‘Group’s Screen – from here, you have to pick your preferred group from the list of your groups displayed on the sidebar. Now, you will have to tap on the option called ‘Anonymous Post’ in the pane located on the right. Once you do this, you will be able to open the ‘Anonymous Post’ window. 

Right at this window’s bottom, you will find the ‘Create Anonymous Post’ option – click on this option. After that, you will find the ‘Create Post’ window pop-up. Now you just have to tap on the ‘large text field’  once you begin composing the concerned message. 

Once you are done, you can navigate to the window’s bottom and click on ‘submit.’ In this way, you will find Facebook submitting your content to the admins as well as the moderators of the concerned Facebook group. Once any of the admins or even the moderators approve the content, your posts will get published. This is exactly how your posts will get published in these groups anonymously. 

How To Enable Anonymous Posting In A Facebook Group?

In order to switch on the anonymous posting option inside any Facebook group, you have to become the group’s admin. Once you have confirmed with the group’s admin, you can visit the ‘Admin Tools’ option and then click on ‘Settings.’

Now follow the steps mentioned below to enable anonymous posting in your Facebook group! 

• Navigate to the ‘Features’ option.
• Then you will find the ‘Anonymous Posting’ option located right at the window’s bottom – here, you will see a pencil icon that you will have to click on.
• When the ‘Anonymous Post’ option opens, select the ‘on’ button from the section called ‘Anonymous Posting’ option. 
• Now, tap on ‘save’ located at the window’s bottom. 

You will find that you have enabled the anonymous posts successfully in the Facebook group. Similarly, you can disable the same option at any point in time – you will just have to switch the button ‘off’ in this case and no group member will be able to make any Facebook anonymous post in your group.
