The Activity Log
It's important to remember that you can control the privacy level for every post you share on Facebook using the audience selector (check out our lesson on Basic Privacy Settings to learn more). However, if you ever need to review or modify what you've posted in the past, you can use the Activity Log.Every action you take on Facebook—from posts, to comments, to Likes—is recorded in the Activity Log. From there, it's easy to review your past activity. You'll also be able to manage posts that your Friends have shared on your Timeline, including the option to hide and delete posts.
- To access your Activity Log, navigate to your Profile page and then select Activity Log.
Accessing the Activity Log
Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn more about using the Activity Log.
You call also hide and delete posts directly from your Timeline. Simply hover the mouse over the top-right corner of the post, click the Edit Pencil, and then select the desired option from the drop-down menu.
Deleting a post
Keep in mind that deleting a post does not delete any related content. For example, if you add a Fan page for a movie or TV show to your Likes and Interests, a post about you adding it will appear on your Timeline and your Friends' News Feeds. Deleting or hiding the post will not remove that Fan page from your Likes and Interests.
