FAQs

Why can’t to leave Facebook groups?

When I don’t want to quit a group, but I also don’t want to be alerted of every new post, what should I do? Turning off post alerts should be an option at the top of the group’s settings menu. Turn off post notifications, and then slide the app out/close the app, and then return the app to continue. After that, you should be set to go.

NOTE for Admins of Facebook Groups: Since no one is contacted when someone leaves a Facebook group, the admins of the Facebook group won’t know when a member of the group left either. You won’t be able to identify former members of your Facebook group or those who stopped following it, in case you were curious about that possibility.
