Post Anonymously in a Facebook Group

To create an anonymous post in a Facebook group, you can use any Facebook-supported device, such as a Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, iPhone, iPad, or Android device.

The steps to compose an anonymous post are pretty much the same on all devices. We’ll use Facebook’s web version to demonstrate the procedure in this guide.

To get started, launch a web browser on your computer and head over to the Facebook site.

When the site loads, from the sidebar on the left, select “Groups.”

Click "Groups" on the Facebook site.

On the “Groups” screen, from the sidebar on the left, select your group. Then, in the pane on the right, click the “Anonymous Post” option.

Select "Anonymous Post" on a group screen on the Facebook site.

Facebook will open an “Anonymous Post” window. Click “Create Anonymous Post” at the bottom of this window.

Click "Create Anonymous Post" in the "Anonymous Post" window on the Facebook site.

You’ll now see a “Create Post” window. Here, click the large text field and compose your message like you normally would. When you’re done, at the bottom of the window, click “Submit.”

Compose a post and click "Submit" on the "Create Post" window of the Facebook site.

Facebook will submit your post to the group admins and moderators. Your post will only be published when either an admin or a moderator approves it.

And that’s how you post something in a group without revealing your identity!

How to Enable Anonymous Posting in a Facebook Group

To turn on anonymous posting in a Facebook group, you must be an admin in that group.

Once you confirm that you’re an admin, open the Facebook site. On the site, from the sidebar on the left, select “Groups,” and then choose your group.

On your group screen, from the “Admin Tools” section on the left, select “Settings.”

Select "Settings" from "Admin Tools" for a group on the Facebook site.

Scroll down the “Settings” page to “Features.” Here, next to “Anonymous Posting,” click the pencil icon.

Select "Anonymous Posting" on the "Settings" screen of a Facebook group.

On the “Anonymous Post” window that opens, from the “Anonymous Posting” section at the bottom, choose “On.” Then, click “Save” at the bottom of the window.

Select "On" on the "Anonymous Post" window on the Facebook site.

And you’ve successfully enabled anonymous posts in your Facebook group!

You can turn anonymous posts off in your group at any time, too. To do so, open the same “Anonymous Post” window. From the “Anonymous Posting” section, select “Off.” Then, click “Save” at the bottom of the window.

Select "Off" on the "Anonymous Posting" window on the Facebook site.

And that’s all.
