You're seeing this email because you're an admin of at least one Facebook group. You don't need to take any action, but we wanted to make you aware of upcoming changes.

Soon, we'll update the names of group privacy levels to public and private to make it easier for you and your members to understand. You'll also see a new setting where you can control whether your group is visible or hidden from non-members in places such as search. Nothing else will change with who can find the group or see the members and posts.

Here's what you need to know:

• If your group is secret, it will soon be called private.
So just like today, the member list and posts will be private so only members can see them, and the group will be hidden from non-members in search and other places on Facebook.

• If your group is closed, it will soon be called private.
So just like today, the member list and posts will be private so only members can see them, and the group will be visible to non-members in search and other places on Facebook.

• If your group is public, it will still be called public.
So just like today, the member list and posts will be public so anyone can see them, and the group will be visible to non-members in search and other places on Facebook.

• You can view and update group privacy in your group's settings.
You can also use the new "Hide group" setting to control whether your group is visible or hidden on Facebook.

We're making this change because we heard that people want more clarity about their groups' privacy settings. We want to make sure that privacy settings are clear and understandable for everyone.
