How to See Answers to Questions from Facebook Groups
Hey all of you cool cats and kittens! A question that I’ve been seeing in the Facebook realm is “How do I view the answers from members to my Facebook Group approval questions?”
Today I’m going to show you how to do this in New Facebook! And the good news, they made it so much easier! Thanks Meta!
How do I View Past Answers of Approved Members for Facebook Group Entry Question?
Okay, so this is the most popular question I get asked. And unfortunately, You CAN’T view past answers of approved members for Facebook Group Entry questions.
Why?
Because Facebook doesn’t allow it.
There have been many requests for Facebook to store these and allow group owners to view past answers for every group member, but Facebook hasn’t done it and I don’t believe they ever will.
