This is perhaps the biggest change in the history of the site, so you should prepare for the changes before they come into effect. Read on for some essential tips on what to expect from Timeline and how to deal with it. This article will help you understand how Timeline will change your profile page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Activity_log_replaces_mini_feed\"><\/span>Activity log replaces mini feed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An Activity Log is a chronological list of everything a Facebook user has posted. Whether you&#8217;re looking to relive your earliest posts or find a particular status update, an Activity Log can help. You can view the Activity Log on desktop and mobile devices. Look for the icon with three bullet points. If you haven&#8217;t checked it out yet, click here to learn more. Activity Log is an easy way to browse through your Facebook history and find a specific status update.<\/p>\n<p>While you&#8217;re browsing the web, you can also keep tabs on your recent searches. Facebook is rolling out a new feature that adds recent searches to your activity feed. The good news is that these searches are not shared publicly, and you can always opt out of it. If you don&#8217;t want to be tracked by others, Facebook has a new option for you. If you&#8217;re not a Facebook user, you can view your searches in an Activity Feed instead.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Status_update_box_replaces_mini_feed\"><\/span>Status update box replaces mini feed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The new Timeline layout on Facebook has several improvements that make it easier for users to browse through content. Users will find their recent updates and news items in the larger left column, while third-party data will be displayed in boxes in the right column. These include content from Slideshare, Pinterest, Quora, FourSquare, and Quora. In addition, Facebook has added a feature that allows you to approve or reject a post.<\/p>\n<p>This new update is based on feedback from users, and it will prioritize posts that are informative. Informational posts, such as movie reviews or news about celebrities, will appear higher on the News Feed. Pages will not see a dramatic change in their post distribution, but some will see slightly lower referral traffic as a result of this change. Despite these changes, users will continue to see their posts in the top-performing section of their News Feeds.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_hide_likes\"><\/span>You can hide likes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook has made it easy to hide likes on your timeline. You can choose to view likes only to friends, only you, or nobody at all. To do this, open the settings menu of your profile and click on the Likes section. Then, select &#8220;Only me&#8221; in the drop-down menu. You can undo this change whenever you like something again. You can also view all of your likes in the single category they appear in.<\/p>\n<p>You can also choose to hide all likes on your timeline. You can choose to view just the likes that your friends have made or just those from people who have liked your posts. The last option is not available for individual posts, but you can choose to restrict the number of people who can see your likes by category. To hide likes in timeline by category, you must select &#8216;Hide Likes&#8217; in the &#8216;Edit Privacy&#8217; menu on the settings page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_edit_privacy\"><\/span>You can edit privacy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to edit the privacy of your posts, you can do so in Facebook. You can choose to limit the audience for posts, which can help you control who sees your stuff. You can also choose to limit what people can see by choosing to make your posts private or limited for a certain group of people. If you don&#8217;t want anyone to see your posts, you can use the hide section on your Timeline.<\/p>\n<p>Go to the About section of your Facebook profile, located on the left-hand side of your timeline. Under the General Account Settings tab, click Privacy. Select the check box next to each option, then select Edit. You can then choose whether you want your profile to be visible to search engines. If you&#8217;re uncomfortable with this option, you can also choose to exclude your bio. Go to your General Account Settings to see which other settings are available.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_delete_posts_from_your_timeline\"><\/span>You can delete posts from your timeline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can delete posts from your timeline in Facebook if you&#8217;re fed up with looking at them all. Facebook lets you delete up to 50 posts at a time, so if you&#8217;re a serial cringe-poster, you might have to go back and delete multiple posts. Fortunately, Facebook offers tools to review your posts and delete them as needed. Here&#8217;s how. Delete posts from your timeline to make room for new content.<\/p>\n<p>You can also hide posts from your timeline. You&#8217;ll notice that the option to hide a post is grayed out when it&#8217;s not your own or has been hidden because of its privacy settings. To delete a post, first click its tag. This will hide the post from your timeline, but it will still be visible in other places on Facebook. It&#8217;s a good idea to choose an option that will let you hide the post before you decide to delete it.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"446\" height=\"249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pMqBhRxcvoQ\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Timeline in Facebook?
