Finding Questions your Friends Asked

You can ask any type of question, but we designed Facebook Questions to help you get fast, short-form responses or votes.

For example, you can use questions to get recommendations from your friends (What are your favorite iPhone apps?), learn more about the people around you (What was your favorite movie as a child?) or start discussion about current events (How can I help the earthquake victims in Japan?).

Anyone who can see your question can participate, but answers are always filtered to show you responses from friends first. So even if many people have responded you will always see what your friends have said first. You can access the responses from everyone else by clicking Others within the Posts section of the question.

Note that when you ask a question in a group, only other group members can see and answer the question. Group questions will not be shared on your profile (timeline) or in News Feed.

Because Facebook is centered around users authentically representing themselves with real names, you cannot ask questions anonymously using Facebook Questions.

No, search engines cannot index Facebook Questions at this time.

If you’re a Page admin, you can ask, follow and answer questions as your Page. When a Page asks or answers a question, people who like the Page can see the story.

1. Go to the Page you admin.
2. From the top of your Page’s Wall click  Question.
3. Enter a question, and click Add Poll Options if you'd like to give options. If you want to allow others to add options too, make sure the Allow anyone to add options box is checked.

To follow or respond to a question as a Page:

1. Click at the top right of any Facebook page.
2. Select Use Facebook as Page from the dropdown menu.
3. Go to the question. Actions you take (following or responding) will be done on behalf of your Page.

Pages that have asked or answered a Facebook Question contain this section. If you’re a Page admin, you have the option to either remove this section from your Page, or hide it behind the "More" link.

If you do not like a question or do not want it to show up on your brand’s Page, you can remove the question itself, or you can remove the Questions link from your Page. If the question violates our terms, you can also report it to Facebook.
