In this article we will see how to review the list of links we visited last monthLikewise, if you do not find it useful to consult it, we will teach you how to deactivate it.
Important Facebook App Information to Consider
This feature is only compatible with the Facebook mobile application., so if you enter through the browser you will not be able to view the link history. To do this, you can use the mobile browser itself, although it will be more complex. This history feature on Facebook is implemented globally
That said, we will see how to activate the function if you already have the latest compatible version of Facebook.

View link history
If I activate the link history on Facebook, I have to wait until the corresponding month passes to see these links. It is important that you take into account that this history will change after this complete period.. To see it, follow these steps.
- Open the Facebook app and press the menu button (three lines)
- Press on Settings and privacy
- Select link history
- It will show the recently visited links or the last 30 days
If you want deleting a page visited via Facebook is possible by pressing the X button on the right side or you can click Remove All to leave no trace in the link history if you deem it appropriate. If some time has passed and You no longer want link history to be activeFollow these steps.
- Tap a link in the Facebook app
- Next, go to the three-dot icon and Go to settings
- Turn off the Allow link history switch, then click Don’t Allow.
Once you disable history, you will no longer be able to visit all recent links and therefore every time you visit a link, it will no longer generate any type of associated history.
One of the reasons for disabling link history is related to the advertising experience of Facebook and other Meta networks like Instagram. So, if you consider that a visit to a product produces unnecessary advertisements, it is time to delete the history or delete the visited item.
A healthier way to save the content that interests us without depending on history
There is a feature in Facebook called Saved Links. It works like a Pocket style app to keep links for as long as you decide. No need to activate any function, just tap the bookmark icon which appears at the bottom of the screen when visiting a link.
To see the saved links you have to go to the menu (three lines) then in the Saved section. You can also see what you have saved in terms of websites by clicking on the three-dot icon when you visit a clicked link on Facebook. Remember that here you do not depend on any time to save these links. You can keep them until you decide to delete them. To do this, navigate to any saved item, click on the three dots and then delete it.
Visiting web pages through Facebook is useful because it saves us from having to leave the application to access a default browser, in addition to saving us a few seconds of time. Another interesting function of Facebook is to notify us when a contact has a birthday. If you want to review each of them, here we show you how to find them.
