• Your identity will still be visible to group admins, moderators, and Facebook, but not to other group members.
• Anonymous posts must be approved by group admins before they become visible to others.

Important Notes

• The anonymous posting option may not be available on all devices or in all groups, depending on group settings and Facebook’s rollout. Some users report the feature works on iPads but not on iPhones or desktop browsers

• Comments on anonymous posts are also anonymous, but you cannot comment anonymously on other people’s posts unless you are replying within your own anonymous post thread

• Group admins and moderators can always see who posted anonymously to maintain group safety and compliance with Facebook’s Community Standards

In summary, to post anonymously on Facebook, join a group with anonymous posting enabled, use the “Anonymous Post” option when creating a post, and submit it for admin approval. Your identity will be hidden from other group members but visible to admins and Facebook
