However, there are two most important insights in this section, which will help you to decide the time and day of posting in the group to get maximum engagement. These two parts are:

a. Popular Days:

It is more important if your Facebook group is a global one. That there are members in your group from different parts of the world. The prime goal of every post in the group is to get seen by the maximum number of members. And it is difficult for the admin/moderator to know which day of the week will be perfect for important posts to get more engagements. This part of the engagement section will show you historical data on the popular days based on the comments and reactions to the posts.

b. Popular Time:

Like the popular days, this part will show you the historical data of the specific time of the day when the members remain active. It is also decided based on the comments and reactions. It is important if your group contains members from different time zones. To get more engagement your group should get posts every day. If you are posting regularly in the group, then you take the help from this popular time to decide the best time to post.
