FAQs on Editing Facebook Group Name

I know there might be hundreds of questions in your mind before and after doing so. However, I cannot go all over those questions but will answer the most common ones below. Moreover, if you have any specific questions while modifying your group on Facebook, let me know in the comment section below.

Why can’t I change my group name on Facebook?

First, you should be an admin of a group to edit its name. If you are an admin and still can’t change the name of your group, then you have reached 5000 group members. Once you reach such a limit, Facebook won’t allow you to change the name of your group. Because, closed and public group names, descriptions, and members are visible to anyone, and may anyone see it as someone’s identity on Facebook. It’s an authentic answer from an official Facebook help team member Amy Jones.

Bonus Tip: If you don’t have time and you know to trust someone, then make him an admin of your group and let him know to delete/remove certain members. After that, you may be able to change the name of your group with less than 5000 members.

How do you change a Facebook group name on Mobile?

You can either use the official regular or Facebook lite app for mobile to do so. In the Facebook regular app: Go to Groups > Select a Group > Tap the Sheild icon at the top right > Settings > Name and Description > Edit Name > Tap Save at the top right.

However, to do it in the Facebook Lite app for mobile: Go to Menu > Groups > Open your Group > tap Manage > Group Settings > Name > Edit name > tap Done at the top right. These instructions are for those who use the latest Facebook Lite app on their Mobile devices.

Can I change my Facebook group name after 5000 members limit?

The short answer is NO. You cannot change the name of your group after reaching the 5000 group members limit. Also, you will see an error while doing so. Because Facebook won’t allow you to do it. It’s because Facebook is closed and public group information (members’ names and descriptions) is visible publically and may anyone see it on Facebook as someone’s identity. This is all to prevent abuse. In short, Facebook won’t let you edit your group name after 5000 members, you must do it before reaching such a limit or remove some members and edit the name of your group.
