0 views

Facebook group posts' privacy settings depend on the type of group. For Public groups, anyone on or off Facebook can see the posts, even without being members. For Closed groups, only current members can view the posts. Lastly, Secret groups extend privacy further, where posts are only visible to members and the group does not appear in search results. Always check a group’s privacy settings to understand who can see your posts.
