Meta Platforms (META) has quietly launched a standalone app called "Forum" for Facebook Groups, positioning it as a dedicated space for deeper community discussions and engagement similar to Reddit, TechCrunch reported Friday.

The app integrates users' existing Facebook Groups, profiles, and activity after login, allows posting under nicknames, and keeps shared content visible within Facebook Groups.

Meta said Forum's feeds focus on ongoing group conversations rather than trending content and include an AI-powered "Ask" tab that summarizes answers from group discussions, along with an AI assistant for moderation and administrative support, TechCrunch added.

Meta Platforms did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
