Facebook has 3 types of groups:

Facebook Private(Closed) Group




Private (closed) group is a group that is visible to the public.

Users can find it through search and even through search engines like google, when they search different keywords inside Facebook or in Google.


People may also link to the group from outside of Facebook.


So it means that a private/closed group is 100% accessible to the public.


The main difference between Private and Public groups, is that in private groups posts are hidden to the outside world, only group members can see the content that was posted inside the group.


Both in public and private groups , you can see who are the members of the group. You can also see details about the group. Like the description and the group rules. 

What is allowed and isn’t allowed inside the group and to what the group is dedicated for.


But you can’t see any posts that were posted inside the group by the group members.


You also cannot join the group immediately and create new posts of your own, you need to join the group first.


In order to join a private(closed) group , you must request to join and be approved by one of the group admins.


One group can have many admins, that can approve new members and moderate content inside the group.


Sometimes they will give you a form to fill, where they ask you different questions and you will need to answer them, and after they review your answers they will decide if to approve you or not.



They may also give you a form with terms that you will need to agree to in order to join the group.


How To Join a Private(Closed) Facebook Group


  Steps to join a Private Facebook group:


  1. Search for the right group you want to join
  2. Hover or click on the group name
  3. Click on ‘Join Group’ , this will create a pending request for the admins to approve
  4. If needed fill out any form from the admins.
  5. A group admin will review your request and will decide to approve you or not.







Use cases of a Private(Closed) Group:


  1. Create a private group for customers only, to deepen the relationships with your buyers.
  2. Filter users with questions or terms they need to accept to make the group more compact and effective, smaller but with more quality.
  3. Create a group that is dedicated to a specific product, and people who purchased this particular product.
  4. Create an inner circle
  5. Build a warm list of customers
  6. Create a support group 
  7. Better protect yourself from unwanted spammers
  8. Filter users before they can join
  9. Create a group only for users that match certain criteria.
  10. Create a group only for users who signed up for an event
  11. Create a group only for users who purchased from you in a local business.
  12. Create a group only for users who gave you their email address
  13. Create a group only for users who gave you their private information, online or offline.
  14. Invite only users who you are planning to promote and sell in the future (warm leads). And you want to nurture them in the meantime.









Facebook Secret Group



Facebook secret group is an invitation only group, where nobody can see the group, the group is not visible via search inside of facebook.


No user on facebook can search and find the group, the group is invisible to users on facebook and outside of facebook. 


The group can also cannot be indexed by google or other search engines.


So it’s main attribute is that it’s ‘invisible’.


Not only that a secret group is invisible, but it is also an ‘invitation only’ group.


In order to get inside the group, you need to know someone from within the group and be his friend inside of facebook.


This friend needs to invite you inside the group, with a special invitation.


If you are not his friend, it’s not possible for him to invite you to the secret group.



You need 2 things in order to join a secret group:

  1. You need a friend inside the secret group
  2. This friend needs to invite you to the group



Just like a Private group, the posts inside a secret group are not visible to the outside world.


Another key thing to notice is if a user was a member of a secret group, but then left the group, the group will still be visible to him in Facebook search.


Also , users in secret groups are receiving ALL notifications about updates from the group even without leaving a comment on a post.





Use cases for a secret group:




  1. You want to create a secret group to prevent users from joining, and also to prevent them from making join requests.
  2. You want only known users/people in the group
  3. You want to keep the group as clean and efficient as possible and prevent spam
  4. You want to keep the group as small as possible
  5. You want to keep it intimate and receive all notifications from the group
  6. You want to create an inner circle or a mastermind group of like minded individuals
  7. Maybe you want to create a group about something that needs to be kept secret.



What is the difference between Private(Closed) and Secret Group



The difference between Private (Closed) and a Secret group is that a secret group is not accessible to the public, no one can see the group or request to join it.

The only way to join a secret group is by an invitation from a friend on Facebook that is also a member of the group.


The two main differences between Private (Closed) and Secret group is:


  1. A Secret group is not visible to the public , Facebook users and the outside world
  2. You cannot request to join a secret group , you must be invited by a Facebook friend that is a member of the group.


What is the difference between Private(Closed) and a Public Group


The two main differences between Private (Closed) and Public group is:


  1. You cannot join a Private group immediately , you must wait for an admin to approve you. But you can join a Facebook public group with just one click on the ‘join’ button.
  2. The content in a Private group is not visible to the public/outside world. The content inside a public group is completely visible to the outside world, including search engines.





How to join a closed Facebook group without a permission


Joining a Facebook group without a permission is an exploit (bug) in the Facebook platform, we do not recommend trying to use hacks on any platform, this is against the terms of service of any platform.


If you do find a BUG you should report it to Facebook, so they can fix it.


It’s also pointless, a closed or private group is just a regular group with an added step of approval.


If it’s a small private/closed group, the admins will notice you and ban you anyway.


If it’s a medium-big Facebook group you should be able to join the group, just request to join and continue to make requests, until they approve you.


If they don’t approve of you , cancel your current request, and make a new request so it will be added to the top of the queue.


If you are still not able to join the group, try to reach out to one of the admins and ask him to invite and approve you.


Or reach out for one of the group members and ask them to invite you to the group.



How to see a Private(Closed) group on Facebook without joining




It’s not possible to view the content of a Private(Closed) group or a Secret group without joining the group, the only way to do this without an approval is by exploiting the platform (bugs/hacks), which are definitely not recommended.


If you find a bug , you should report it to Facebook, and even if there is a bug, it is probably only a temporary problem , sooner or later Facebook will find out about this and fix it, and it won’t work anymore.


This is not the way to do things, in order to view the group content of a private/secret group you must do it properly by joining the group, by asking for approval or by invitation.


Don’t use hack and tricks, these are temporary and are against the terms of service of any platform.


It will also cause the group admins to ban you permanently, if they find out you joined without a permission.
