# Group Posts

With Group Posts, there's no need to require everyone to create and maintain a Facebook, GroupMe or WhatsApp account. The app that everyone is already logged into for their directory, prayer list, calendars and more now also has the ability to facilitate communication.

Some special features of Group Posts:

* ✅ Allow groups to be **joinable** or **private**.
* ✅ Enable or disable **posting** and **commenting**.
* ✅ Upload **photos** and **documents** for sharing.
* ✅ Choose to receive **mobile notifications** for different kinds of activity.

## Group Post Admins

Group Post Admins are people specifically designated to help moderate posts and comments.  A Group Post Admin can edit or delete any post or comment.

## Joinable / Private

When activating Group Posts on a group, you can allow this group to be visible only to group members, or to your entire congregation as a group they can choose to join, by changing the visibility setting in the "Settings" tab for a group.

A **private group** can only be seen by members of the group when Group Posts is enabled.

A **joinable group** will show for everyone in the congregation, when Group Posts are enabled, with an option to "Join" if they are not already a member of the group.
