Facebook is concentrating on bringing your closest friends and families together by releasing its new Groups<\/strong> app. Groups has always been a part of Facebook but was hidden away in the side menu of the Facebook mobile app. With the new Groups app, you can have a dedicated place to keep in touch with friends or to share things with people with the same hobbies.<\/p>\n

Groups looks like a hybrid of Messenger (Android<\/a> | iOS<\/a>) and the Facebook app (Android<\/a> | iOS<\/a>). Your various groups are displayed at the home page in a grid with circular icons<\/strong>. Tapping on them will bring up a “wall” for you to post to that group.<\/p>\n

\"Facebook<\/p>\n

While Messenger is still great for group chats, the Groups app will be better for sharing content that doesn’t require immediate attention<\/strong>. It also serves to stop shared content from being buried under a barrage of chats.<\/p>\n

You can still use Groups on the Facebook website, and the company promises to improve that experience as well, though no solid plans were announced.<\/p>\n

\"Facebook<\/p>\n

Facebook Groups is available in all countries<\/strong> on Android and iOS today. Even though this is a new app, it already looks way more useful<\/a> than Facebook Rooms.<\/p>\n
