Social media giant Facebook has introduced a new feature that would allow users to bulk delete their old Facebook posts. The company announced on Tuesday that it will be launching the Manage Activity feature to help people trash or archive their old posts. All of us have posted pictures or posts that we find embarrassing now and want to get rid of it when Facebook sends a Memories notification. However, now with Facebook’s new feature removing embarrassing posts won’t be that hard.
If you dig deep into your Facebook accounts, you would find tons of posts or pictures that are completely irrelevant now and holds no value to you. It could about an old friendship or a relationship that no longer exists. While you might have happily moved on in life, Facebook will remind you every year of the past that you don’t want to revisit. But worry no more, Facebook is also bringing the feature that will help you get rid of them. And the best thing is you can delete posts and pictures in bulk, without really going to every single post and hitting the delete button. The company has rolled out the feature for some users already and it is gradually releasing it for everyone.
The Manage Activity tool will give you two options to deal with your old posts. You either archive them or get rid of them completely. The archive feature would mean that posts will not be visible to other visitors or to your friends. You can retain the content just for yourself without letting others to view it. This could be a nice way of holding on to the memories of the past but without including everyone else into it.
The other option is to move your posts to Trash. The trash folder will keep your posts for 30 days before deleting them completely from the app. But if you want to manually delete the posts or wish to restore them you can do that before the app gets rid of your posts. Facebook has made it simpler for users by letting them delete their posts in bulk.
If you too want to clean your Facebook profile by getting rid of some old posts, here’s what you need to do:
Step 1: Go to Activity Log on your profile page.
Step 2: Tap on the Manage Activity option. It will appear between the Filters and Archives option on the top.
Step 3: Tap on Your Posts option.
Step 4: Now tap on Filters.
Step 5: Select the Category option. Here you either choose to see all posts or select specific posts such as text updates, check-ins, photos, and videos among other things.
Step 6: Now select all the posts that you want to hide.
Step 7: Tap on Archive if you want to hide specific posts from your friends.
Step 8: Tap on Trash if you want to delete the select posts altogether.
