Group administrators commonly write into us to change the names of the Facebook Groups they have created. Sometimes the reason is as simple as fixing spelling errors and typing mistakes. Other times, a group's purpose has evolved and it needs a name that better reflects its goals. Now, group administrators can make these changes themselves, at any time.

We recently made this change because we want to give people more control over the groups they create. Whenever there is a name change, members of that group will receive a notification, so be sure to check your notifications box for group name changes. Of course, you can leave a group if you don't want to remain a member after a name change or at any other time by selecting the option "leave group" below the profile picture of any group that you are a member of. Check out our Help Center for more information.

We're always looking for ways to improve the site and make it easier for people to share—which means giving you more control and choice over how you use our products. Keep your suggestions coming.
