How to Find Group Invites on Facebook

Facebook groups are spaces where people with similar interests can share and discuss information regarding a certain topic. These groups can be created for virtually anything and have thousands of active members. If you’ve received an invite to a Facebook group and ignored it, you may realize finding it can be tricky, regardless of the device you’re using.

If you’re interested in learning how to find group invites on Facebook, you’ve come to the right place. This article will show you how to do it using the mobile app and the web version.

How to Find Group Invites on Facebook Using a Phone

Millions of people worldwide use the Facebook app. If you’re one of them and want to know how to find group invites on Facebook, we’ll show you different ways to do it.

The easiest way to locate a group invite is to search for it in your notifications. Namely, when you receive an invite to a Facebook group, you’ll get a notification about it. If you’ve ignored the invite, you can go back to it at any time:

1. Open the Facebook app.
   
2. Press the bell icon at the top and browse the notifications to find the invite.
   

Once you locate the invite, click on it and choose whether you want to join the group or delete the invite.

While this is the most efficient way to find a group invite, it’s not particularly convenient if the invite was sent weeks ago. Most users don’t want to waste time scrolling and chasing the notification. Fortunately, the Facebook app allows you to see all group invites in one place. Follow the instructions below to see group invites in your Facebook app:

1. Launch the Facebook app.
   
2. Press the three lines at the top-right corner.
   
3. Select “Groups.”
   
4. Tap the gear icon at the top-right corner.
   
5. Choose “Invites.”
   
6. All your invites will be displayed under “You’ve been invited to join these groups.”

There’s another way to access a particular group invite. This one works if you’re unsure whether you’ve been invited to a specific group whose name you know. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Open the Facebook app.
   
2. Press the search icon at the top-right corner and enter the group’s name.
   
3. If you’ve been invited to the group, you’ll see the name of the person that sent you the invite below the group’s name. You’ll be able to choose whether you want to join the group or delete the invite.

How to Find Group Invites on Facebook Using a Computer

Many people prefer using Facebook on their computers because of the larger screen. If you’re trying to find a lost Facebook group invite on your computer, you’ll be happy to know there are several ways to do it.

The first way is to browse through your notifications and find the invite. Here’s how:

1. Open Facebook on your computer.
   
2. Press the bell icon at the top-right corner.
   
3. Scroll until you find the group invite.
   

This is a quick and easy option to find recent invites. But, if you received the invite a long time ago, you probably don’t want to waste time scrolling through a bunch of notifications. In that case, try pressing the group icon at the top (the fourth icon from the left), and you should see the invite under “Recent activity.”

If you’re not sure whether you’ve been invited to a particular group, here’s what you can do:

1. Open Facebook and press the search icon at the top-left corner.
   
2. Search the group’s name.
   

If you received an invite to that group, you’ll see the notification under the group’s name and will be able to choose whether you want to join.

FAQs

Why can’t I see group invites?

Not being able to see group invites can cause some inconveniences. One of the reasons for this is that you’re not using the app’s latest version. If you have an Android phone, go to the Play Store, find Facebook, and check whether updates are available. If you have an iPhone, visit the App Store and check for updates. Computer users should ensure the browser they’re using to access Facebook is updated.

Another reason you can’t see group invites is a temporary glitch. Try restarting your device to solve the problem.

Do Facebook group invites expire?

When you receive a Facebook group invite, you can preview the group to decide whether you want to join. You’ll be able to see the group’s members and read and react to the content but won’t be able to post or invite other users to join. The preview mode lasts for 28 days upon receiving an invite. If you ignore the invite and don’t interact with the group’s posts, the invite will expire. However, if you interact with a group post, the invitation will extend for another 28 days.

What is the difference between Facebook groups and Facebook pages?

Many users confuse Facebook groups with Facebook pages and vice versa. While the two are similar, they have several crucial differences. First of all, a Facebook page is like a public Facebook profile, and everyone can see it. It’s designed to enable social figures, businesses, and organizations build a social media presence and promote themselves.

Facebook groups can be both private and public, and their purpose is to allow users to build connections with like-minded people and learn information about a certain topic. Besides staying informed, Facebook groups are places where users can engage in discussions and exchange opinions.

Never Lose Your Facebook Group Invites Again

Most people use numerous apps and receive dozens of notifications every day. It’s easy to miss a Facebook group invite and forget about it until you need it or a friend mentions it. Although accessing the lost group invites may not be as straightforward as one may think, it’s still possible, regardless of the device you’re using.
