Delete Facebook Search History

Facebook stores everything you search in a log. You can see what you searched for from five years ago if you want. You can delete and/or view this search history by following the steps I outline in this post. Facebook doesn’t make it easy to find, but here’s a breakdown of the steps:

First, do this on your laptop/desktop and not on the Facebook App! Second, go to your privacy settings. You get there by clicking on the lock icon to the right of the notification globe at the top right of Facebook and clicking on “See More Settings.”

1) Click on “use activity log”
2) Click on the first “more” link that you see. It should be under the “comments,” “photos,” etc.. links
3) Click on the “search” link
4) Now you can see your entire search history on Facebook. All those searches for your ex’s, porn stars, etc… (j/k)… prob not. Just click “Clear Searches” and you are done!

Keep your eyes on this section in the future. Facebook likes to move things around from time to time.
