Facebook is bringing ‘Group Experts’ with badges to the platform

Facebook will add a new feature to its Groups that lets group members decide upon and elect ‘Group Experts’, says a report by The Verge. Each expert’s profile will be adorned with a badge to indicate that they are highly knowledgeable on the topic the group is based on. As per the report, the “Group Expert” badge will show on posts, comments, and in the Q&A section.

The social media platform will add tools from group members to help find potential experts in the group. Group members and admins can then nominate another member to be a Group Expert. Once the nomination is accepted, they will get the badge that will mark them as a Group Expert.
