Meta is shutting down Facebook 'Neighborhoods' for local communities
, the company is ending its test of Neighborhoods on October 1st. It will no longer be available after that date.
Groups revolving around local communities aren't new or rare on the website, but Neighborhoods spaces come with special features. They allow users to create separate profiles where they can limit their public information if they don't want people nearby to know too much about them. Users can also find groups for specific activities that are populated with locals through the Neighborhoods tab.
The product manager didn't mention why Meta is shutting down Neighborhoods in their announcement. According to, though, the company said it originally invested in the project when it saw how popular Nextdoor was. However, it reportedly decided that the best thing to do for this particular area is to let people form their own local communities using the website's existing Groups feature.You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
