Meta Quietly Launches 'Forum,' a Standalone Facebook Groups AppFriday May 22, 2026 5:01 am PDT by Hartley CharltonMeta today launched a new standalone app called "Forum" that brings Facebook Groups into a dedicated feed separate from the main Facebook experience. The app was spotted by Matt Navarra without any formal announcement from the company. Its App Store listing describes Forum as "a dedicated space for the conversations that matter most to you," built for the groups users already belong to and those they have yet to discover. Forum's feed surfaces conversations from a user's existing Groups instead of mixing them with posts from friends, Pages, and algorithmically recommended content.

Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at MacRumors.
