You can either archive stories or delete them by clicking the &#8220;Archive&#8221; button. Stories are archived in the chronological order of the person who shared them, so that it&#8217;s easy to find them again later. You can also choose to mute a story, and you can also delete it completely. If you want to remove a story, you must select it from the list.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_Facebook_Story_Archive\"><\/span>Disable Facebook Story Archive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to delete the stories you&#8217;ve published on Facebook, you can disable the feature by visiting the Archives tab. Then, tap the settings gear icon at the top right of the page. Finally, tap the option labeled &#8220;Turn off Facebook Story Archive.&#8221; Note that this feature does not remove the stories that you&#8217;ve already posted. However, it does keep any stories that have expired or have been archived in the past.<\/p>\n<p>The archived stories can be accessed through the Facebook website and mobile app. By default, it is accessible only to people who&#8217;ve posted them in the last 30 days. However, you can turn this feature off if you&#8217;re having trouble viewing them. There are several steps to follow in order to do this. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_off_Facebook_Stories\"><\/span>Turn off Facebook Stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons why you may want to turn off Facebook Stories. If you&#8217;re annoyed by the high volume of stories that pop up on your newsfeed, you can mute them. By muting them, you can avoid having to wade through dozens of posts from the same person. In addition, muting Facebook stories saves you time. By skipping past them, you can avoid the hassle of unfriending people, or wasting your time on irrelevant stories.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason you may wish to turn off Facebook stories is that it&#8217;s easy to screenshot your stories, which can be embarrassing. Unlike normal posts, Facebook stories only last for one day. They don&#8217;t publish to Messenger or appear with other people&#8217;s stories. On the other hand, posts last for longer in the audience&#8217;s memory. Moreover, Facebook&#8217;s default app doesn&#8217;t have a feature to hide or disable stories. So, you&#8217;ll need to use a third party app to disable them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mute_a_story\"><\/span>Mute a story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you don&#8217;t want your friends to see the stories you post, you can mute them. All you have to do is click on the three dots in the upper-right corner of the post you&#8217;d like to mute. This will stop that person from seeing your post in their News Feed. Note that muting someone doesn&#8217;t affect your relationship or the way they post, but Facebook does keep track of when someone mutes a story.<\/p>\n<p>The most popular way to mute a story from Facebook is to swipe the story you&#8217;d like to hide. On mobile, this means that you&#8217;ll be able to choose whether to view the story or not. On desktop, you can also tap the three dots in the upper-right corner of the story. Then, choose the mute option from the confirmation screen. The story will no longer appear in your newsfeed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_a_story\"><\/span>Delete a story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to delete a story posted by someone else, you can do it through Facebook. To delete a story, simply go to the story in your newsfeed and click the three dot icon, followed by Delete Photo or Delete Video. Once you&#8217;ve confirmed that you want to delete the story, Facebook will remove it from your newsfeed. You can see the story&#8217;s link in your profile picture, under your name. You can also choose to archive it in the desktop version of Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Stories can be posted on Facebook and shared on Instagram. You can delete your Facebook Story and share the same story on Instagram. To delete a Facebook story, simply go to the story&#8217;s page and tap &#8220;More.&#8221; Then select the &#8220;Delete&#8221; button. This will also remove the story from Instagram. Once your story is deleted, it won&#8217;t appear on either Facebook or Instagram. You can then delete it on both social media platforms by using the steps outlined below.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_a_post\"><\/span>Delete a post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To delete a post, tap on the three-dotted icon in the top-right corner of the post. If you&#8217;re using a mobile phone, click on the three-dot menu and choose &#8220;Delete Story.&#8221; Select the post to be deleted and then confirm your action by selecting &#8220;Delete&#8221;. You can select which stories you&#8217;d like to archive by clicking on the checkbox next to the stories. Facebook might consider adding an option that saves only posts that receive the most reactions and comments.<\/p>\n<p>Besides deleting the post, you can also find it in the archive. Once published, the post is publicly available for 24 hours. After that, it will be archived and will only be viewable by you and friends. After that, you can edit and re-share your story. If you make a mistake, you can easily correct it by deleting it from Facebook stories. However, if you find spelling errors or other problems, it&#8217;s best to remove the story.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"518\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iOSMj4qIaWg\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Remove Stories From Facebook Are you wondering how to remove stories from Facebook?
