Ever wonder if the information you post in a Facebook group is getting seen by the members? Stop wondering. Facebook is rolling out a new group indicator that lets anyone know who has seen a post, and at what time they viewed it.
I noticed this in a brand new group tonight. It hasn’t shown up in my older groups, but I’m sure it will be there within the next few days.

I think this is a potentially creepy feature. Some preservation of privacy would be appreciated. It makes me want to stay away from Facebook…
I understand how you feel. But groups are supposed to be smaller subsets of people with common interests, so I can see how it would be useful. Then again, if you really want to make sure someone gets the message, there’s always that old standby – the telephone! 🙂
Maybe I’m not fully understanding. Does this feature apply to the typical, personalized Facebook page, where it is common for one to have tens and hundreds of so-called “friends?”
No, this feature applies to Facebook Groups. It’s sort of like LinkedIn Groups. Anyone can create a group and invite friends to join. For instance, I’m a member of a moms group, as well as some social media marketing groups, and networking groups in my local area. Does that help?
Yes, that does help. Thank you, Gloria. That seems a lot better if this feature is kept within groups. Thanks.
Thank you for further explaining. This feature kept within groups makes better sense. Thanks again.
