Why can a group name on Facebook not be changed?

Firstly, only an admin can change the name; they cannot change it if one is a regular member. Secondly, if a group has reached 5000 members, the group name cannot be changed. Facebook does not let you change the name because closed and public group information is visible publicly and can threaten someone’s identity.

In the latest update, Facebook allows you to change the name of your group within 28 days. But the group name is changed excessively; Facebook will set limits for the group. There will be a cooling period of 28 days. After 28 days, finally, the group name can be changed.

Sometimes you still cannot change the group name after 28 days. Update the Facebook app, clear the Facebook cache, and then log into your account. If the problem persists, you can report the issue to Facebook.
