You can see if a group is private or public below the name of the group.
  • Public: anyone can see who’s in the group and what they post.
  • Private: only members can see who’s in the group and what they post.
  • Note: Members can approve some of their private group posts and comments to be shown publicly on or off Facebook if group highlights are available in the group.
