Groups• Groups provide a closed space for small groups of people to
communicate about shared interests.• Groups can be created by anyone.• Group members must be approved or added by other
members.• When a group reaches a certain size, some features are limited.• The most useful groups tend to be the ones you create with
small groups of people you know.• Members receive notifications by default when any member
posts in the group.• Group members can upload photos to shared albums,
collaborate on group docs, participate in chats and invite members who are their friends to group events.
