Facebook Raises Group Messaging Limit to 5,000

Facebook had previously limited group messages to groups with no more than 1,500 members. As of last week that limit was raised to 5,000 according to an article published today in the New York Times. Facebook had previously stated that they would be completely removing group messaging limits but for now it appears that they won’t go all the way.

This definitely doesn’t help much for those groups that have hundreds of thousands of users. Facebook is making slow adjustments though due to previous abuses by a select group of users that were using groups for spamming purposes.
