Facebook just for groups (like Australian Twitchers)
By Birding-Aus, on November 20th, 2014
G’day all I reluctantly signed up for a Facebook account so I could hook into the Aust Twitchers and Vic Birders groups. Today I found a link to an app (published by the Facebook people) that only shows the groups you are subscribed to. http://www.macworld.com/article/2849934/hands-on-with-facebook-groups-a-spin-off-app-you-ll-actually-want-to-use.html The App is available for iOS and Android devices. All the other Facebook “features” disappear. Cheers Steve Clark Hamilton, Vic

A word of caution on this app (and apps in general. Just check the terms and conditions you are signing up for. If all you use Facebook for is bird-related things it’s probably fine, but people have recently been caught out with apps getting access to private photos and information on their Facebook and even on their phone. Make sure you are checking what you are giving the app access to on your profile and your phone. That said, it sounds like a pretty neat app. Cheers, Chris Sent from my iPhone

I tried to join these groups when I read about them last week and couldn’t find either. How do I get onto them?

Thanks Steve – works a treat so far on Android. Just what I wanted – only joined Facebook (like you) for the groups and there is so much other stuff cluttering up the screen normally!

I think this app was only just released. It seems to be designed for phone sized screens. Unless they come up with an ipad one, I think I’ll stick with the main facebook app for now. Peter Shute Sent from my iPad
