Facebook has introduced a new activity of welcoming its new members to the Facebook Page. Earlier the process was expected to be done manually by searching for the new members and tagging them in a welcome post. This brand new welcome feature allows the page admin to set a welcome message for its members and Facebook will automatically tag its new members and post it on the page.
Introducing members to each other
It becomes difficult for members to spot different positions of people in a group. Facebook has introduced new badges that help all members differentiate between moderators, admins and group members etc. This feature clearly helps all in knowing the positions people share. This also helps in differentiating everything in a crystal clear view.
Blocking comments based on Users

This feature helps the admin to turn off commenting on member basis instead of knocking down the whole post. This can help keep the post without any sort of bad elements or comments. Furthermore, Facebook helps a page admin to remove members from multiple groups with a single click in case of any unavoidable or irrelevant activity.
Discovering people/Profile Views-
