In today’s media and Internet space, information travels at the speed of light. No sooner has any event taken place than we can immediately observe the appearance of headlines on various Internet resources. The same applies to Facebook. If you’ve made a post on your Facebook page, it will be able to be reposted by anyone who sees it. And as many people as possible will know about the event you had or the information you’re trying to share.
Sometimes we wish some information could go beyond our profile and our Facebook page. So that anyone can repost. The social network gives you the opportunity to make it possible for your post to be shared, especially in groups. So, here is how to make a post sharable on a Facebook group.
What are the privacy options for Facebook posts
On social media, it’s common to share what you like with your friends. On Facebook, people can share other users’ posts on their timelines. But it all depends on the privacy settings that the author has set for his message.
Facebook offers its users different privacy options. Every time you post something, you might have seen the “Edit Audience” option. This is the default option that allows you to control who can see your Facebook posts and who can’t.
The following post privacy options are currently available on the Facebook platform:
- Public. Public posts are available to anyone on the Web. It doesn’t matter if the person has a Facebook account or not.
- Friends. Only people who are on your friends list will be able to see your publications.
- Friends Except. This option allows you to select the friends you want to exclude from the audience list.
- Specific Friends. Only those of your selected friends will be able to view and participate in the post;
- Only Me. No one but you can see your post.
- Custom. This option is a mix of the “Friends Except” option and the “Specific Friends” option. The author of a post can include and exclude friends from his or her list of friends.
How to make a post sharable on a Facebook group
If you are a member of a Facebook group that is open to the public, anything you post to that group can be accessed by its members if you have set its security settings to public.
If you are a member of a private Facebook group, any posts you make in the group will not be shared outside of the group. If you want to make your post sharable on your private Facebook group, you have to follow these steps:
- First of all, create a post on your own timeline and ensure that it is sharable to the public.
- Then, click “Share” in the bottom right corner of the post. Dropdown menu has to appear.
- Select “Share to a group” and click on the private group where you are member in.
Once you have completed these steps, your post has to be shared with the private group where anyone else can also share it by going to the original post.
