On android using the fb app I can share posts into groups, is this not an option on the iPhone ??? Or am I missing something??? I can only share on my timeline.

Using the Facebook app... hit the Share link... then 'write post'... then at the bottom, tap "on your own timeline" to select where the post will go.

Looking at the app, when you are making a post, at the top left under the "cancel" button there is a "to" and then the recipient field...open that by pressing it and it opens all of your recipient options (including groups).

Edit...just realized you asked about sharing. And that it was already answered. Durrrr...sorry.

Right next to "To:" it should say "Friends", click on Friends and it will allow you to should allow you to choose who it is shared with (including groups).

Only the mobile fb comes up in safari, it works the same. Can't so it.

Would have to go on chrome browser and use the desktop site for Facebook to be able to share it to a group

To share an already posted status to a group, you have to click share next to that post > select copy link to post > go to the group page > select post > then paste the link. I am by no means a Facebook expert (haven't logged in in months) but I needed to do this awhile ago.

Hope this helps!

I was struggling with the same in my iPhone 5s. Happened to discover it today so thought of sharing it.

To forward a post from your personal Facebook page to a closed group page, click on the share icon to the bottom right of the post which you want to share.

Select option "write post"

Then between the "cancel" button on the left and the "post" button on the right, you would find a "share" button with a downward arrow beside it.

Click this button and it gives you the options where to forward the post to. select "group" and then select the specific group with which you want to share the post with.
