Facebook decided to take advantage of the celebration of the Facebook Communities Summit to publicly announce some of the news that will come to one of its most interesting features, the Facebook groups. However, despite the fact that they may have great interest and many possibilities in different senses, there are those who miss some possibilities to be able to enhance their use, which is why the social network has decided to promote them with nothing more and nothing less than eight new features for Facebook Groups.
Among the novelties is that the social network will go to Recommend content from Public Groups in users' feeds, regardless of whether these people are part of the group or not, so that greater visibility can be achieved. In addition, they will have their content as indexable in search engines, so they can be used for positioning tasks, which can greatly boost their use.
In addition, there are other news that will be included in the platform over the next few months and that will mean a before and after when making use of this functionality within Facebook, which is used every month by more than 1.800 million people worldwide.
News from Facebook Groups
Facebook brings a series of news in the Facebook groups, Which are the following:
New Administrator Assistant
Facebook has decided to add a new tool that will allow administrators of Facebook groups to have the possibility to moderate content and automatically delete posts that include some words that are considered inappropriate or that they simply do not want to allow during the conversations that take place in the group in question.
Thanks to this new feature you can better filter content, so that it can be avoided that content can be included that is inappropriate or that simply has nothing to do with the group's theme or the particular issue that is being debated. In this way, more resources are made available to group administrators to be able to carry out their tasks in a more comfortable and controlled way.
Use of Hashtags
One of the new updates to the platform will consist of being able to make use of hashtags internal to be able to properly order the conversations and to be able, for example, to highlight a topic at the top of the Group so that all users can see it, something that is very interesting, since all the contents that contain that tag can be placed.
This is really useful for those occasions in which a particular topic is discussed and in this way the organization within the group is adequate.
Monetization of Facebook Groups
On the other hand, Facebook has decided that Group administrators can make use of the tool called Brand Collabs Manager, so that they will be able to resort to monetization for the contents of public groups, in addition to working together with those brands that are interested in promoting their services and products among those who are part of the Facebook Group.
Collaborative content in images
Another novelty that comes to Facebook Groups is a new type of collaborative post in which it will seek to enhance conversations within the same Group through the use of images. The group administrator will have the possibility of requesting the members of the group to send photos on the subject they consider, publishing all these images in one place.
Certificate for Administrators
The administrators of the Groups may carry out an examination that makes them become certified as community managers, which will mean that they have the ability to create and contribute to the growth of a Facebook Group.
Questions and Answers
Group administrators may choose, if they so wish, to create sessions of questions and answers, so that community members can ask questions that are answered by other members, thus generating greater interaction among all members.
Profile picture for administrators
Another novelty is the possibility that administrators can change your profile picture, so that it can be different from the others and that it fully meets each of the groups that are administered, something important, especially if several are administered, since it can be customized for each one of them.
In this way, Facebook brings a clear commitment to the possibility of promoting the use of Facebook Groups, a functionality that has great possibilities in many ways, especially when promoting different products and services, but also to help the dissemination of all kinds of content.
The possibilities offered by groups are endless, but the reality is that so far many users did not use them and, like all Facebook in general, they were being left a bit out of the way, largely due to the lack of updates for this feature. .
Now Facebook has wanted to boost its use and it does so with the arrival of almost a dozen news that will be distributed over the next few months. Once all these news are known, it is time to wait for the platform to introduce them and gradually arrive at this feature of the social network.
Facebook It is the largest social network worldwide by number of users, although it is true that given the rise of other platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, which belongs to Facebook, there has been a great change in the trend of users in recent years, being the youngest, above all, those who have opted for other social networks alternatives to Facebook. Despite everything, Mark Zuckerberg's company is not willing to drop it and for this reason it has begun to attract different news for Facebook, in this case for Groups but also others for Facebook Messenger and the main network.
