How Facebook Anonymous Post Works?

When someone anonymously posts in a group, their profile name and photo remain hidden from the public. However, it is still visible to Facebook’s system, group admins, and moderators. So, a group admin and moderator can still see your public profile info.

There are two valid reasons why you cannot submit an anonymous post on a Facebook group but others can. 1st one is because the admin of the group has not enabled Anonymous posting on that group. 2nd one is you haven’t joined that (private) group but others did. That is why the admin of that groups approved from valid users only, not strangers.

How do you fix this? You need to send a group joining request to the admin and once it is approved by the admin or moderator, you can then submit anonymous posts over there. So, if your post is anonymous but valid, for sure it will get approved.
