How Do I Add a Shortcut to a Group on Facebook?

Adding a shortcut to a Facebook group you frequent allows quick access right from your bookmarks bar or desktop. Here’s how to add a group shortcut on both desktop and mobile:

Adding a Facebook Group Shortcut on Desktop

Adding a shortcut to a Facebook group on desktop only takes a few clicks:

1. Go to the group you want to shortcut and make sure you’re on the main page showing recent posts.
2. Copy the URL of the page from the address bar.
3. Right click on the bookmarks bar in your browser and select “Add page”.
4. Paste the URL into the address field and type a name for the bookmark.
5. Click “Save” and the group shortcut will now appear in your bookmarks bar.

Now you can access that group with one click from the bookmarks bar. This works the same way in any major desktop browser like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.

You can also add a shortcut icon directly to your Windows or Mac desktop:

1. Follow steps 1-2 above to copy the group URL.
2. Right click on an empty space on your desktop and select “New” then “Shortcut”.
3. Paste the URL into the address field and type a name.
4. Click “Next” then “Finish” and an icon will appear on your desktop.

Now you have a dedicated icon to launch that Facebook group. On Mac, you can drag the icon to the Dock for one-click access as well.

Adding a Facebook Group Shortcut on Mobile

The Facebook mobile app also lets you pin groups for quick access:

1. Open the Facebook app and go to the group.
2. Tap the More Options icon (3 dots in top right).
3. Choose “Pin to Top”.

This pins the group to the top of your Facebook feed. Now whenever you launch the Facebook app, that group will be right at the top for fast access.

Creating a Home Screen Shortcut for a Facebook Group (iOS)

On iPhone or iPad, you can also add a home screen shortcut to launch a group:

1. Open the Facebook app and go to the group page.
2. Tap the Share icon in the bottom toolbar.
3. Scroll down and tap “Add to Home Screen”.
4. Type a name and tap “Add”.

You’ll now have an app-like shortcut on your home screen for fast 1-tap access to that group.

Creating a Home Screen Shortcut for a Facebook Group (Android)

On Android, you can create a dedicated home screen shortcut as well:

1. Open Chrome and go to the Facebook group page.
2. Tap the More Options icon (3 dots top right).
3. Select “Add to Home screen”.
4. Type a name and tap “Add”.

Just like on iPhone, this will create a shortcut on your home screen for fast access.

Other Ways to Quickly Access Facebook Groups

In addition to shortcuts, there are a couple other ways to access Facebook groups faster:

• Use the Groups tab in the Facebook app or website sidebar to see all your joined groups.
• Use Facebook Search to look up groups by name.
• Use the Notifications tab to see the latest activity from your groups.

With all of these options, you should be able to access your favorite Facebook groups in just a tap or two no matter what device you’re using.
