Whether you are an active Facebook user or just a casual
lurker, you may have a post hidden from view. For many reasons, it is worth
knowing how to unhide a post. These include, but are not limited to, reputation
management, safety concerns, and other reasons. However, it is a good idea to
take some time to analyze your post before unhiding it. This is especially
important when you consider that most Facebook users are on mobile devices.
The first step is to log into your Facebook account. Once
you are logged in, navigate to your profile page. The profile page is where you
will see your name and profile picture. In the top right corner of your profile
page, you will see a three-dotted menu. Select the "Activity Log"
option. Fortunately, Facebook provides a convenient one-click method of
navigating the Activity Log, making it easy to find the hidden posts and other
data. You can also view your Activity Log on the desktop version of the site.
You may be curious about how to unhide a post on the
Facebook mobile app. This can be accomplished by tapping the three dots in the
upper right corner of your profile photo. The "Activity Log" menu
will pop up and you will see your posts in reverse chronological order. The
"Show on Timeline" option is also available. You will be prompted to
select a start and end date for your post to be unhideable. After selecting
your post, you will be presented with the option to delete the post, unhide it,
or remove it from your timeline. Alternatively, you can also view the post by
tapping the photo. If you choose to delete or unhide your post, the photo will
appear in the Photos section.
The Facebook mobile app is a great way to view your post.
However, you can also unhide a post using the desktop version of the site. This
is especially true for photos that are hidden. For example, you can unhide a
post that has been tagged. This is not the best method for removing posts from
your timeline, but it can be useful for some users who don't want their friends
to see their latest pictures.
Using the Facebook mobile app is the logical next step. You
will be prompted to sign in using your email, phone number, or password. Once
you are logged in, navigate back to your profile page and tap the "Show on
Timeline" option. You will be presented with a list of your posts, along with
an option to unhide them. Once you have selected your posts, you can select
"Unhide" to have them returned to your timeline. If you choose to
unhide your posts, you can also use the "Show on Timeline" option to
have them removed from your timeline.
In the end, you have unhided the post, redeemed your likes
and possibly improved your reputation. In the process, you may have unwittingly
stumbled upon a clever Facebook gimmick. The social media site is full of
surprises.
