How To Unhide A Post On Facebook App

Facebook has once again updated the 'hide from timeline' feature for personal pages. Last year, this feature was removed and we were forced to 'archive' or 'unarchive' our unwanted posts. Now, you can go back to 'hiding' and 'unhiding' your Facebook posts from your timeline using the Activity Log.

On Facebook business pages, however, hiding and unhiding posts is still not an option for most posts.

If you have a Facebook Page and want to remove content from it, you will have to delete the post. Unfortunately, Facebook only allows certain posts, such as cover photo updates, events, and profile photos to be hidden. All other posts cannot be hidden or archived.

We'll show you how to unhide those posts that are able to be hidden, and where you can find them in your Activity Log.

But first, why would you want to unhide a Facebook post in the first place?

Reasons you may want to unhide a post

If you have hidden posts on Facebook, chances are there's a reason they're hidden. But you may have an equally valid reason to bring the post back to the light of day. These reasons could be:

  • You hid a post by mistake and now want to unhide it.
  • Enough time has passed and you no longer think the post is reputationally harmful.
  • You feel like sharing a memory or fact with your audience that you had previously hidden.

Before you make a post visible again, be absolutely certain that you want it back on your timeline. There's no harm in reconsidering your decision to keep something out of public view, but don't bring it back if you're going to regret it later.

How to hide a post on a Facebook business page

  1. Go to your Facebook timeline and scroll to the post you want to hide.
  2. Click on or tap the three dots (…) button in the top right corner of the post.
  3. Select Hide from Timeline. Move to archive.

That's it! Your post has been hidden. It will no longer appear on your Facebook Page until you decide to restore it. Keep in mind that the post may still appear in other places on Facebook, such as the News Feed. Remember you can only hide certain posts on your timeline. Some of them you will have to permanently delete if you want to remove them.

Also, there's no way to hide a post on a Facebook Page from mobile. You must do it on a browser using a computer.

Restore any posts of your choice

Restoring your post will display your post again on your timeline with all of its reactions and comments. Depending on your post's privacy settings, your Facebook followers or the public can now view and/or engage with the post you've just unhidden. Note that it will be displayed with its original publish date.

Hiding and unhiding a Facebook Page comment

Even the most lovable brands can expect negative comments on their Facebook Pages from time to time. They can hurt your business and your reputation, give other followers wrong information, and even create a big social media crisis. One solution can be hiding those negative comments and posts.

You should consider hiding comments with inappropriate content like racism and sexism, comments containing broken links, or comments that have links to sites with viruses and malware. Hiding the comment will keep it hidden from everyone except the author of the comment. They won't know that their comment is hidden so you avoid potential fallout.

Conclusion

Although Facebook lets you delete or hide inappropriate content with a few clicks, you still need to pay attention to everything you post.

You must also keep tabs on what others write about you and your brand. Social Media Management Tools make it simple to find comments that need your attention. These tools help you listen to the concerns coming from your followers and potential customers.

The hide posts feature on Facebook gives you the option of removing content temporarily from your Facebook business Page. Who knows, a post you previously archived might be important the next day. It's always good to know how to restore it, right?

Manage your Facebook Pages in one place.

Schedule your posts, engage with your audiences, and create export-ready Facebook page reports in one place.
