Question

Will I receive a lot of notifications if I join Facebook groups on my iPhone?

Community Answer

You will usually only receive notifications if you have friends who are posting in the group. That said, you can turn off the notifications if they bother you in the settings of Facebook.

Question

Why do I have groups listed on Facebook when I've never joined one?

Community Answer

Facebook does this thing called suggested groups, which lists groups (either from clicking on the groups tab or from the side where the adverts tend to be) that you might find interesting. You might be seeing one of those groups.

Question

Does the group have access to friend's post or just public posts?

Community Answer

The group can only see posts that have been made in the group. If you share a post that someone on your friend's list has made, then they can see that you have shared it, but the group may not be able to see it. It depends on the person's privacy settings.
