Forum Is Meta's Dedicated App for Bringing Your Facebook Groups Together in One Feed
Key takeaways
- "Built for the groups you already love." That's what Meta is promising with Forum, a new app from the company, which it quietly launched on Friday.
- It works like this: Assuming you belong to several Facebook groups, Forum brings together posts from those groups, surfacing them in your feed without any algorithmic recommendations or posts from friends.
- The app also has an AI feature called Ask, accessed by a button to the right of the home page button at the horizontal menu at bottom.
"Built for the groups you already love." That's what Meta is promising with Forum, a new app from the company, which it quietly launched on Friday. Only available on i Phones for now, the app brings together all of your Facebook groups into a single feed.
It works like this: Assuming you belong to several Facebook groups, Forum brings together posts from those groups, surfacing them in your feed without any algorithmic recommendations or posts from friends. If you make a post to a group in your Forum feed, that post will appear in that group feed, and vice versa.
The app also has an AI feature called Ask, accessed by a button to the right of the home page button at the horizontal menu at bottom. With Ask, you can search for something across all your groups instead of having to scroll around each one to find it.
