How To Post Anonymously On Facebook?
How To Post Anonymously On Facebook?: One thing you should keep in mind is that you can post anonymously on Facebook groups only. However, this feature should be enabled by the Facebook group admin. If you are the Facebook group admin, check the later part of the article to know how to allow the anonymous posting option.
How do you post Anonymously on the Facebook group from a desktop?
Once the feature has been enabled, group members will have the option to create an anonymous post. The method of posting anonymously on a Facebook group on a desktop is moderately simple. Now, the things you need to do are as follows:
- Ensure that you are in your Facebook account and signed in.
- Go to the Group where you want to post.
- Tap Anonymous Post, which is near the place where you’d make a post.
- A prompt will appear explaining how anonymous posts work. Create an anonymous post by tapping Create Anonymous Post.
- Make your post and click Submit.
- The post will be displayed in this Group without a name. The name will still be visible to the admins and moderators of the Group and Facebook’s systems. It is what your post will look like.
How can you post anonymously on the Facebook group from a mobile device?
You can also post anonymously on a Facebook Group via mobile if the Group allows anonymous posts.
To post anonymously via phone:
- Go to the Facebook group on which you want to post anonymously.
- Click on the option “I want to Post Anonymously”.
- Now, write your post and click POST.
What happens next?
If the admins require post-approval in the Group or approval of anonymous posts or post edits, then admins or moderators will review your anonymous post. Otherwise, your post will be published immediately.
Once your post has been published, it will show that it was created by an anonymous member (in private groups) or anonymous participant (in public groups) with the icon anonymous. Note that the color of the icon is random. If more than one anonymous post has the same colored icon, it doesn’t mean the same person posted them
Bear in mind
If you post anonymously, your name and profile picture will still be visible to the Group’s admins and moderators and Facebook to help keep groups safe and compliant with our Community Standards.
Comments you make on your anonymous post will also be anonymous. (As with your anonymous post, the group admins, group moderators, and Facebook will be able to see your name and profile picture.)
Details that you include in your anonymous post could reveal your identity.
Some post formats are turned off for anonymous posts to protect you from inadvertently exposing your identity.
If you can’t see the option to post anonymously, it could be because:
- Anonymous posts aren’t available to you for now
- Anonymous posts aren’t available in the Group for now
- The group admins don’t allow anonymous posts
Top Benefits of Anonymous Facebook Posts
Creating a post in an anonymous Facebook group is also very useful when it comes to sharing and disclosing information between users who do not show each other their identities.
Cross-posts may help if you ever get harassed for being the target of too many unpleasant issues that may prompt other community members to confront you.
You might think of it as a powerful technique to get your voice heard without being visible.
