How to Post Anonymously on Facebook? Follow These Tips and Tricks

Ranting about your relationships, workspace, or having a bad experience at a restaurant seems good until it involves your name.

Facebook groups offer a secure space for their group members to pour out all the negative thoughts bugging them or bag helpful advice on various topics from the group members.

Since so many of us don’t like being identified on a group and seek ways ‘how to post anonymously on Facebook’, here is a short guide for them to take help from.

This brief guide will tell you methods to post on a Facebook group without your name getting mentioned up there.

How Does Facebook Anonymous Group Posting Work?

Normally, when someone posts on a Facebook group, their posts go on pending approval by the group admins. Note that we are talking about Facebook’s private groups.

Initially, your post contains your name when you send it for approval. To make it anonymous, you must request the admin to do so; otherwise, they will approve the post and publish it as it is, revealing your name.

Nowadays, group admins turn on the anonymous posting option on their group so that group members can choose whether to send their posts for public or anonymous posting.

How to Post Anonymously in a Facebook Group?

There are several ways to post in Facebook groups anonymously. For instance, you can post using the Facebook mobile app, web, iPhone, Android, or PC. Check the below instructions to post anonymously.

Via Facebook App:

The following is how you can post in a Facebook group through your Facebook app on your Android/iOS device:

Open the Facebook app.
Tap the hamburger icon on the top left corner of your screen
Select a Group you want to make a post in
Tap the create icon on the bottom right of your screen
Now create a post type in your content and turn the toggle on for anonymous posting on the top of the page.
Once done, hit the ‘Post’ icon

Your post will be sent to the group admin for approval. You will receive a notification upon the post’s publishing if it gets approved.

Note: Even if you turn on the anonymous mode, your profile details, including name and profile picture, will be visible to the group moderators.

Via PC:

Even though pcs are a bit inconvenient for using social media apps like Facebook, you can still post in a group through your computer on Facebook.
