A Facebook public group is open for anyone to join and view without requiring approval from the group admins. Posts made in a public group are also visible to anyone on Facebook, even those who are not members. On the other hand, a private group on Facebook is more exclusive, as it requires admin approval for membership. Only approved members can view the group’s content, posts, and members. This setting provides more privacy and control over who can access and participate in the group’s discussions and activities.
Facebook Public Group
Visibility: Anyone can see the group name, members, and posts (even non-members).
Joining: Open to all; no approval needed (unless admins restrict it).
Content: Posts appear in public searches and can be shared outside the group.
Use Case: Ideal for brands, communities, or topics wanting broad reach (e.g., fan clubs, local events).
Facebook Private Group
Visibility:
Private (Visible): Non-members see the group exists but not posts.
Private (Hidden): Only members find it via invite/link.
Joining: Requires admin approval or member invitation.
Content: Posts are exclusive to members and won’t appear in public searches.
Use Case: Best for sensitive discussions (e.g., support groups, closed communities).
Key Differences
Privacy: Public groups lack control over who sees content; private groups restrict access.
Discovery: Public groups are searchable; private groups may require invites.
Engagement: Public groups attract randoms; private groups foster tighter communities.
