There are several methods you can use. Below, you&#8217;ll find the steps to follow. If you want to hide a post, follow the steps below to complete the process. You can also choose other options. You can click the link to see less from a person and report offensive posts. Finally, you can undo the action to make the post visible again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_delete_a_post_on_Facebook\"><\/span>How to delete a post on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to remove a post from Facebook, you can delete it from your timeline. Once you&#8217;ve deleted it, you can never get it back. However, you can download it if you want to retrieve it later. So, be careful what you post and what you share online. To delete a post from Facebook, go to the activity log in the settings menu and select &#8220;edit history&#8221;. Then, select the post you want to delete. Facebook will then display a pop-up to confirm deletion.<\/p>\n<p>Then, click the &#8220;View on Facebook&#8221; button to open the post in the Facebook interface. You can then reply to the comment as a page, delete the comment, or hide it from view altogether. While you can easily hide or delete comments if they&#8217;re deemed inappropriate, you may have to consider whether the comment is offensive. If it&#8217;s borderline, you can decide whether to delete it or hide it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_hide_a_post_on_Facebook\"><\/span>How to hide a post on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook allows users to hide individual posts, which you can do when you want to hide a post from public view. When you hide a post, Facebook will also remove similar posts from your timeline in the future. To hide a post, you must tap on the ellipsis icon next to the post you want to hide, select it, and then click Archive. The post will be hidden from public view, but it will still be visible in your archive folder.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve hidden a post, you can unhide it as well. If you don&#8217;t want to see it on your timeline, you can click the pencil icon at the top of the post. Then, click on the drop-down menu, and select &#8220;Hide From Timeline.&#8221; This will hide the post from your timeline, but any images you&#8217;ve included in it will remain in photo albums.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_hide_a_comment_on_Facebook\"><\/span>How to hide a comment on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hiding a comment is one way to prevent others from seeing it. It is not a permanent solution, though. Facebook will let you unhide it at any time. It is a way for people to protect their brand&#8217;s reputation and keep inappropriate content hidden from their followers. You should always explain why you are hiding a comment. Keeping your brand&#8217;s reputation intact is crucial to maintaining a healthy online community.<\/p>\n<p>To hide a comment, navigate to the comment you&#8217;d like to hide and move the mouse cursor over it. Then, tap the three dots that appear on the left side of the comment. The comment will then be hidden from everyone else. If you don&#8217;t want others to see it, you can also choose to unfollow the page or user who posted it. By hiding the comment, the person who posted it cannot see it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_report_a_post_on_Facebook\"><\/span>How to report a post on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to report a post on Facebook, including in a group or a page. You can also report a specific post for proof purposes. These tips should help you decide which post you want to report. In addition to reporting the offending post, you can also unfollow the person. Regardless of the reason for unfollowing the person, you should report their post as well.<\/p>\n<p>To report a post, go to the Timeline of the person you want to hide. Click on the Options icon, which is a three-dot menu. From here, choose Report Post. Select a reason and follow the prompts to submit the report. Once you&#8217;ve reported a post, you will no longer be able to view it. This is useful in cases where Facebook&#8217;s algorithms have flagged the post as abusive.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rfWGco1_kbQ\" width=\"418\" height=\"234\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Delete a Post on Facebook?
