So in order to create your group, you'll need to add at least 1 friend to the group.

This is most likely the most essential selection you'll make while developing your group-- as there are some restrictions to altering in the future.
If you have fewer than 5000 participants you'll have the ability to transform the setups as you see fit.
But as soon as your Groups grows to over 5000 participants, you can just change an Open Group to Closed or Secret-- and a Closed group to Secret.
You won't have the ability to change the privacy once again after this.
There can be complication about what privacy setting a group needs to have-- Open, Closed or Key.

Messages/Chat- One of the excellent things about Groups is you can launch a group chat/message with either all participants of a Group or select members.
This is particularly valuable when you have a news to make or require to rapidly work together on an item/issue.
Events- A feature probably not used usually sufficient in Groups is Occasions. Inside the group you can create events that only members can see & RSVP for.
Just click the "Events" tab to the left and then "Produce Occasion" & the lightbox below will pack to produce your occasion.
Files- Inside Groups you can share files of any type of kind in addition to create Documents which Group participants can contribute to & collaborate on.
