You can post anonymously on Facebook, but this feature is limited to Facebook groups and must be enabled by the group admin. Here is how you can post anonymously in a Facebook group:
Key Points About Anonymous Posting on Facebook
- Anonymous posting is only available in Facebook groups where the admin has enabled this feature.
- It is mostly available in private groups; some public or business groups may not support it.
- When you post anonymously, your name and profile picture are hidden from other group members and replaced with "Anonymous Member" or "Anonymous Participant."
- Group admins and moderators can still see your identity.
- Anonymous posts usually require admin approval before they go live.
- You cannot edit an anonymous post after submitting it.
- Comments on anonymous posts are also anonymous to members but visible to admins.
How to Post Anonymously in a Facebook Group
From Desktop
- Log in to your Facebook account.
- Navigate to the Facebook group where you want to post.
- Below the "Write something…" box, click on Anonymous Post.
- A prompt will explain how anonymous posts work; click Create Anonymous Post.
- Write your post and submit it.
- If required, wait for admin approval before your post appears anonymously in the group.
From Mobile (Facebook App)
- Open the Facebook app and go to the group.
- Tap on the "Write something…" box.
- Toggle the Post Anonymously option.
- Confirm by tapping I want to post anonymously.
- Write your post and submit it.
- Your post will be sent for admin approval if the group requires it.
If you do not see the option to post anonymously, it means the group admin has not enabled this feature or it is not available in that group type
. This feature is designed to protect your privacy while allowing you to share sensitive or personal content within a group setting without revealing your identity to other members, though admins still have access to your identity for moderation and security purposes
