To repost someone else's post or your Page's post on a Facebook group, click Share under it, choose Share to a group, pick the group, add a line of your own, and post. There is no repost button for your own group post: add a useful update comment to bump it, edit it when details change, or publish a fresh version with a new hook and photo. Admins can schedule recurring posts natively; in groups you only joined, use a browser-based scheduler and rewrite each repeat.
"Repost" means three different things inside a Facebook group, and Facebook handles each one differently. Sharing a post into a group takes two taps. Reposting your own post has no button at all. Repeating an evergreen offer weekly is a scheduling question that depends on whether you admin the group.
This guide covers how to repost on a Facebook group in all three cases, using the steps in Meta's Help Center, plus how often each type of group welcomes the same offer and how to schedule repeats that never look like a copy.
How to Repost on a Facebook Group: Pick the Right Method #
Match what you want to do with the tool Facebook gives you for it.
| What you want | Best method |
|---|---|
| Put someone else's post or a Feed post into a group | Share, then Share to a group |
| Put your Page's post into a group | Switch to the Page, then Share to a group |
| Bring your own recent group post back up | Add an update comment or edit the post |
| Repost an older offer in the same group | Publish a fresh, rewritten version |
| Repeat an evergreen post on a schedule | Native recurring posts (admins) or a browser-based scheduler (members) |
How to Share a Post Into a Facebook Group #
Sharing is the closest thing Facebook has to a repost button. Labels shift slightly between app versions, but the path below matches Meta's current help articles.
On a computer #
- Click Share in the bottom right of the post, whether it is in your Feed, on a Page, or in a public group.
- Choose Share to a group, as described in Meta's guide to sharing a post from your Feed.
- Pick the group, add a line of your own above the shared post, and click Post.
On the Facebook app #
Tap Share below the post, tap Share to a Group, select the group, write your note, and post. Meta's app instructions note that the options depend on the original post's privacy settings.
Sharing your Page post into a group #
To repost on a Facebook group as your business, switch into the Page first. Meta's steps are to click your profile picture, choose See all profiles, select the Page, then click Share under the post and choose Share to a group. The share appears under your Page's name, which reads better in groups where the Page itself is a member.
When the Share option is missing #
- The original audience was limited. Meta says you can't share posts with people who weren't part of the original audience, so a Friends-only post can't go into a group.
- It came from a private group. Asked "Can you share content from the group?", Meta answers Yes for public groups and No for private ones.
- The group holds it for review. Many groups require admin approval for posts, so a share that does not appear may be waiting for an admin.
A post from a private group cannot be shared to your profile or another group. To use the message elsewhere, write it as a new post tailored to the new group.
Always add a sentence of your own: "We used this checklist before our last open house and it caught three things we missed" gives members a reason to click that a bare share does not.
How to Repost Your Own Post on a Facebook Group #
There is no repost button for your own group post, and sharing it back into the same group just reads as a duplicate. You have three better options, depending on the post's age and what has changed.
Option 1: Bump it with a useful comment #
To bump a post in a Facebook group, you add a comment so it shows new activity. Meta documents why this works: commenting on a post automatically turns on post notifications, so past commenters hear about new comments, and members can sort a group by Newest activity, New posts, or Most relevant, and comments are among the signals Meta lists for its Most relevant ranking.
A bare "bump" adds nothing, and many group rules ban it. Make the comment worth reading:
"Update: two Saturday slots just opened for Oct 25. First two people to message me get them."
Replying to questions under your post does the same job, and the person you answered gets a notification.
Option 2: Edit the post #
Editing keeps a live post accurate when a price, date, or availability changes. Click the Options icon in the top right of the post, choose Edit post, make the change, and save. An edit alone will not move the post up, so pair it with an update comment ("Edited: now booking November").
Option 3: Post a fresh version #
Once a post is a week or two old, write a new one. This is the most reliable way to repost your own post on a Facebook group, because it starts fresh in the feed. If the group allows one listing per item, remove the old post first.
Why a Fresh Rewrite Beats Reposting the Same Post #
Copy-pasting last week's post is the most common repost mistake.
- Members notice. Regulars remember your photo and first line, and a third identical post tends to draw "you posted this already" comments.
- Admins notice. Many groups cap promo posts at one a week or a set promo day, and duplicates are the easiest thing for a moderator to spot.
- Facebook notices. Meta's spam policy lists posting repetitive content as one of the indicators it weighs alongside posting frequency.
Keep the price, link, and call to action; change what people scan first: the opening line, the photo, and the angle.
Week 1: "Fall aeration and overseeding in Westside, $120 per standard yard. Booking October now."
Week 3: "Bare patches from summer? Aeration plus overseed this month means a thick lawn by spring. Westside yards, $120, a few October dates left." (New photo: a before and after from a recent job.)
Posting to many groups? Our guide to Spintax for Facebook group posts shows how to build one template that produces dozens of natural versions.
Check each group's rules and pinned posts for a promo day, a weekly promo thread, or a "one post per seller per week" limit, and note them next to the group name. Reposting inside those lines keeps you welcome in your best groups.
How Often to Repost Evergreen Posts in a Facebook Group #
An evergreen post stays true for weeks: a standing service offer, an item still for sale, a recurring class. These rhythms are starting points; when a group's rules say otherwise, the rules win.
| Group type | Typical evergreen post | Starting rhythm | What to change each time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local buy and sell | Item or listing still available | Every 5 to 7 days while it is available | Lead photo, price note, "still available" date |
| Neighborhood and community | Local service offer | Once a week at most, on the promo day | Seasonal angle, recent job photo |
| Business networking and promo-thread groups | Offer or introduction | Weekly, inside the promo thread | Which service you lead with |
| Niche interest or industry | Product, course, or consult | Every 2 to 4 weeks, after value posts | The problem you open with |
| Jobs and gigs | Availability or hiring post | Weekly while the role or slot is open | Dates, rate, a short proof line |
| Groups you admin | Welcome post or weekly thread | Weekly or monthly as a recurring post | The prompt or question |
Spread reposts out rather than firing them all in the same hour. The free best time to post tool helps with timing, and Facebook group posting limits covers how much volume a single account should carry.
How to Repost on a Schedule #
Reposting by hand works for two or three groups. Past that, a schedule keeps the rhythm steady and frees you to answer comments, which is where customers come from.
In groups you admin: native scheduling and recurring posts #
Meta's Help Center says admins and moderators can schedule group posts, and admins can set up recurring group posts that repeat daily, weekly, or monthly.
- To schedule one post: open the group, click Write something, write the post, click the calendar icon next to Post, choose the date and time, and click Schedule.
- To make it recur: open Admin Assist, click Add next to Publish a custom post, choose a blank post or a suggested prompt, set the frequency and first date, and add it to Admin Assist.
- To review the queue: click Scheduled posts in the Admin tools menu (you may need to click Manage first). Recurring posts appear there 24 hours before they publish.
Recurring posts suit a Monday introductions thread or a Friday promo thread. Change the prompt now and then so regulars have something new to answer.
In groups you joined: a browser-based recurring campaign #
Regular members only get the Post button, and mainstream schedulers cannot help, since Meta removed group publishing from its API for all versions on April 22, 2024. That leaves a calendar reminder with saved rewrites, or a tool that posts from your own browser.
PilotPoster is a web app plus Chrome extension that posts to the Facebook groups you have joined, not only ones you admin, from your own logged-in browser with no Facebook password and no API. Turn on Repeat in a recurring campaign, pick daily, weekly, or a custom interval and an end date, and switch on AI rewrite or Spintax so every group and every run gets its own version of the post. Posts go out with natural delays between groups.
Either way, plan repeats inside a Facebook group content calendar so offers sit between helpful posts. For reposting to a long list of groups at once, see how to post to multiple Facebook groups.
Frequently Asked Questions #
How do I repost on a Facebook group? #
Click Share under the post you want to repost, choose Share to a group, pick the group, add a short note, and post. For your own post in the same group, add an update comment or publish a fresh, rewritten version instead, since Facebook has no repost button for that.
How do I repost my own post on a Facebook group? #
If the post is recent, add a comment with new information, such as an opening or a deadline. If it is older or buried, write a new version with a different opening line and photo.
How do you bump a post in a Facebook group? #
Add a meaningful comment or reply to a question on your post. Commenters get notified of new comments automatically. Skip comments that just say "bump", which many groups remove.
Why can't I share a post to a Facebook group? #
Usually the original post was limited to a smaller audience, such as Friends, or it came from a private group, whose content cannot be shared outside. The group may also hold posts for admin approval.
Can you schedule a repost in a Facebook group? #
Admins and moderators can schedule group posts, and admins can make them recur daily, weekly, or monthly. Members need a tool that posts from their own browser, because API-based schedulers lost group posting in 2024.
- To share a post into a group, click Share, choose Share to a group, pick the group, and add a line of your own.
- Posts from private groups cannot be shared outside the group.
- There is no repost button for your own group post: comment with an update, edit for changed details, or publish a fresh version.
- Rewrite every repost. Keep the offer and link, change the opening line, photo, and angle.
- Repost about weekly in local and promo groups, every two to four weeks in niche groups, and let group rules override.
- Admins can set recurring group posts through Admin Assist; members of joined groups need a browser-based scheduler.
