New features for Facebook Groups include channels that will allow users to connect with each other in smaller settings. There are channels that admins can use to connect with their groups in more casual settings.
There are three types of channels that admins can use. In a more real-time way, community chat channels can be used as a place for people to message, collaborate and talk about specific topics in a more real-time way. If you want it to be invite only, you can name it after yourself. You can send messages when you join a chat. You might have to join again if the chat gets full.

The launch of the new features comes as Facebook recently introduced new features to help Facebook Group administrators keep their communities safe. The company added an option for admins to decline incoming posts that have been found to contain false information. Over the past few years, Facebook Groups have made headlines for their growing use by people looking to spread harmful content and misinformation, and the new features aim to address some of these issues and give admins more control over their communities.
