Joyned: The Facebook Workplace Alternative
The communication app redefining workplace collaboration and engagement.
With the retirement of Meta Workplace (formerly Facebook Workplace) on 31st of August 2025, thousands of organisations are searching for a secure, scalable, and compliant alternative.
If you're looking for a better way to connect and communicate with your team, Joyned is purpose-built to fill that space.
Joyned offers a human-focused, mobile-first alternative to Facebook Workplace that supports real-time collaboration without compromising on control.
Why is Facebook Workplace Shutting Down?
Meta announced that Facebook Workplace is shutting down on August 31st 2025 - at which time it will become read-only until 31st May 2026. It’s shutting down because Meta wants to focus their attention and resources on AI and the metaverse.
With Workplace closing down, many teams are searching for Facebook Workplace alternatives that are easy to onboard, compliant, and scalable with their organisation.
