Your activity log is a list of your posts and activity, from today back to the very beginning. You’ll also see stories and photos you’ve been tagged in, as well as the connections you’ve made – like when you liked a Page or added someone as a friend.

Your activity log lets you review and manage what you share on Facebook.
To view your activity log:
  1. Go to your profile by clicking your name or profile picture at the top right of Facebook.
  2. Click Activity Log in the bottom right of your cover photo.
  3. From here, use the options on the left side of your activity log to review things like:
    • Things you've posted.
    • Posts you've hidden from your timeline.
    • Photos and videos you've posted or that you've been tagged in.
    • Friends you've added or removed.
Note: Only you can see your activity log, but the posts and other content in your activity log may appear other places on Facebook, like on your timeline, in Search or in your friends' News Feeds.

Your activity log includes all your stories, organized by the date they happened on Facebook. This means when you add a life event to your timeline, it will show up in your activity log on the day you added it, not the day of the event itself. Keep in mind only you can see your activity log.
By default, your activity log shows your activity from the current year, starting with your most recent activity. Click on a year (in the top-right corner) to jump directly to that time.
The audience icons to the right of each story show you who the story was shared with.
You can also control which stories appear on your timeline.

Use the filters in your activity log to find specific types of stories. If you still can’t find certain stories in your activity log, it could be because:
  • The activity you’re looking for doesn't exist. For example, you won’t see any activity stories about events in 2005 because Facebook Events didn’t exist yet.
  • You removed this information from your timeline.
