Reels and other anti-misinformation measures are now available in Facebook Groups

Facebook is updating Groups with new features and tools to encourage healthy interactions. Whether you like it or not, Reels are coming to Groups – members may use the now ubiquitous format to offer how-to tutorials, vacation recaps, and other videos. You may also edit your Group profile to discuss shared interests and indicate that you’re receptive to communications. You may also publish public Facebook events as Instagram Stories if you wish to live stream an event.

The social media giant is now making it simpler to prevent disinformation from spreading inside Groups. Admins may transfer posts with known erroneous claims (those that have been confirmed by fact checkers) to pending postings so they can be examined before being removed. While leaders can currently auto-decline postings and even auto-block posters, this might help them discover patterns in fake material and make bad judgments.
