🚪 Fixed: Group Remover was never actually leaving a single group
- Every removal got as far as Facebook's "Are you sure?" box and stopped there. The app was looking for a confirm button labelled "Leave Group". Facebook labels it "Leave group", with a small g. That one letter matched nothing on the page, so the box was never confirmed and you stayed in the group.
- It has been that way since January 2025. Everything else on the screen behaved, which is why it read as the button doing nothing at all.
- Checked live against a real account before and after: the old spelling finds no button on Facebook's page, the new matching finds it and the group is left.
- The confirm is now found by what the button says and does, inside the confirmation box itself, and capitalisation no longer matters. Facebook currently shows two different versions of that box and both are handled.
🧹 Fixed: searching your groups and then removing one deleted the rest of your list
- Typing in Search Groups did not just filter the view, it replaced your saved group list with the matches. Pressing Remove then saved that short list over the real one.
- So searching for a word, ticking one group and pressing Remove permanently deleted every group whose name did not contain that word. The groups were gone from your saved list, not just hidden.
- That list is shared with Group Inviter, Member Friender and Manage Group Members, so it emptied on all four screens at once.
- Search is now display only and never touches what is saved. On top of that, saving your list can now only ever remove groups Facebook confirmed you left. If the list has shrunk by more than that, it refuses to save and tells you why.
- Sync Latest Groups got the same protection. A scan you stop, or one that ends early because the Chrome window was closed, no longer overwrites a full list with a partial one.
⏳ Fixed: Remove could hang with the loading bar up and never come back
- If anything went wrong during a removal, Chrome failing to open, the Chrome window being closed part way through, or Facebook serving something unexpected, the run stopped dead. No error, no result, no failure notice. The loading message stayed on screen and that screen stopped responding until the app was restarted.
- Every run now finishes one way or the other and reports what happened, including partial failures, and Chrome is always closed at the end.
- Pressing Remove with nothing ticked used to open Chrome, walk no groups and say nothing. It now just tells you to tick a group first.
⚠️ Fixed: Group Remover could delete a group you own
- The app waited a flat two seconds for the group page, then looked for the Joined button. On a slow page that button had not appeared yet, and the app fell into a second route that opened the group menu, clicked whichever item was last in it, and looked for Delete Group. On a group you run, that control is real and it does what it says.
- Deleting a group also makes Joined disappear, so the check afterwards read that as a clean departure and reported success.
- That route is gone. The app now waits for the Joined button properly instead of guessing, reads menu items by what each one says rather than taking whichever is last, and simply reports that it could not reach the group when it cannot.
🎯 Fixed: the Facebook icon at the bottom of the screen sat slightly out of line
- The small Facebook icon next to the Instagram one in the bottom corner was a few pixels off from its neighbours. It now lines up. The same fix went into Social Prospector IG.
