New Convenient Way to Delete Old Facebook Posts
Facebook begins releasing a tool to help manage our content. With it, we can, for example, delete our old posts.
Mark Zuckerberg's company has decided to introduce a feature called "Manage Activity". The tool enables us to select our old posts, properly filter the content we shared and moving them to the trash or archive. This function is part of the existing "Activity Log".
What do we find in the new option?
We can browse our posts by date, category or people marked in them. We can delete a selected entry, change its visibility settings, hide it on the timeline, and move it to the archive, from which we can restore the post within 30 days. After this time, the content is permanently deleted.
The tool offers several new and interesting options (photo The Verge)
When will I get access?
Initially, the option appeared in Facebook Lite. As we know, Facebook is releasing new tools and functions in waves - we don't know specific guidelines on who will get the update earlier. Currently, many users report that the function is already available in the standard version of the app. The company has announced that it will also go to the desktop version.
How do I go to Manage Activity?
- First we go to our profile;
- Click the button with a dot next to the "Add to My story" function;
- select "Activity log."
- Then the "Manage activity" button and the "Your posts" function.
If, in your case, the new tool is not yet available despite the update, you will probably get access to it in the near future.
