Facebook's group auto-invite glitch takes center stage at free AMA
A free 60-minute ask-me-anything session on Friday, January 23 at 1 PM Pacific, 4 PM Eastern, will take live questions about Facebook, Instagram and the wider Meta ecosystem, with recordings sent to registrants afterward.
The headline topic is the ongoing Facebook Groups glitch that auto-invites, and sometimes auto-adds, friends, followers and even non-followers to new groups. The issue has been known to Meta for roughly six months without a fix, and the session promises a practical workaround, with a media entrepreneur guest sharing her own recent run-in with the bug.
Two smaller platform updates also surfaced this week. Instagram's Edits app now lets creators attach links to an Instagram account or a public Reel, exported as clickable overlays. And Facebook is rolling out yet another redesigned personal profile layout, with users comparing screenshots as it reaches their accounts.
