Here, we are helping the newbies who just got their Facebook account and struggling with some basic terminologies. If you are someone young or old, and you got yourself on Facebook and cannot figure out where is your Timeline? Then, worry not! We are here to make your life easier. Let’s learn more about the Facebook timeline and how you can find it when you log in to your Facebook account.
What Is Facebook Timeline?
Facebook has come a long way — from a small Harvard university students’ social network to this giant social media network with users in billions. Over the years, Facebook also evolved with time. It brought many features that it adapted from changing world dynamics. That is why, despite the stiff competition from newer social media platforms, Facebook still maintains its popularity. Facebook introduced the Timeline feature in 2011 and made it available to users in 2012. The Timeline was a revamp of the existing profile of users. Facebook Timeline combines the user’s profile and Wall, creating a visually holistic profile. Your Timeline contains your posts, photos, videos, and all posts/photos/videos you were tagged in by your friends. Similarly, it has all your biographical information, like where you live, study, or work, your profile and cover photo, your friend list, and all your life events.
How Can You Find Your Timeline on Facebook?
If you want to navigate to your Timeline on Facebook on your web browser, click on your name or profile picture on the top left of your homepage. This will take you to your profile page or Timeline. Similarly, if you are using the app version of Facebook, click on your profile photo on the top left next to the “What’s on your mind?” box. You can view all your posts on your Timeline. You can scroll down your Timeline to navigate all your activities or use the “Post Filters” to find the post from any month or year on your Timeline.
You Can Remove/Hide Posts From Your Timeline
There are two ways to do that. The first is through the “Manage Activity or Manage posts” option on your Timeline. The “Manage posts” button on your Timeline helps you delete or hide any post you do not want to see. You can also remove a tag from any post your friends tagged you in via this feature. Similarly, you can hide posts from your Timeline as well. “Manage posts” helps you remove or archive content in bulk at once from your Timeline, which is the added benefit of this feature. It also has filters that enable you to quickly locate any post. Another method is individually removing each post from your time:

Similarly, in this same section, you can adjust other options related to tagging and tagged posts’ audience. Another thing that is very important in this section is the “Reviewing” section. When you turn the toggle next to the “Review posts that you’re tagged in before the post appears on your profile” option on, it will ensure no post will make it to your Timeline unless you allow it.
