Meta is on an iPhone app launch streak after introducing two new apps in May. The latest is dedicated app for a key Facebook feature: groups.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Forum is a new Facebook app that provides \u2018dedicated spaces for groups\u2019<\/h2>\n

The new iPhone-only app from Meta is officially called \u201cForum, a Facebook app.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forum joins the standalone Facebook app and Messenger on iOS. It also joins Instants, the new iPhone app launched by Meta\u2019s Instagram earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The new Forum app is all about making Facebook Groups a standalone experience on iPhone. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the app\u2019s description, per the App Store listing:<\/p>\n

Forum, a Facebook app, gives a dedicated space built for deeper discussions, real answers and the communities you care about.<\/p>\n

Forum, a Facebook app, is a dedicated space for the conversations that matter most to you, built for the groups you already love and those you have yet to discover.<\/p>\n

Dedicated space for your groups<\/p>\n

Sign in with your Facebook account and your groups, profile and activity carry over. You have the option to post with a nickname. Your groups still exist on Facebook and anything you share on Forum will be visible in your groups on Facebook. This is just a space built around them.<\/p>\n

Stay in the loop on conversations you care about<\/p>\n

Your feed is built around conversations from groups. See what real people are saying, not just what\u2019s trending, and easily jump back in where you left off.<\/p>\n

Ask and get answers from real people<\/p>\n

Looking for opinions, advice or recommendations? Ask pulls together responses from across groups, so you can get answers right away from people who\u2019ve been there and join the conversation.<\/p>\n

Built for the people who run groups<\/p>\n

Admins still have access to all their tools on Facebook, and now they also have an admin Al assistant on Forum to help manage their groups, moderate content, and keep their communities healthy \u2013 all while maintaining control.<\/p>\n
