#WHAT IS A TIMELINE ON FACEBOOK UPDATE#
In the past, users were able to hide the post update from timelines but not any more.įacebook noted that they are removing the ‘hide from timeline’ feature as part of their commitment to increasing transparency for Pages. *Update: after an event is created on a business page, Facebook will automatically publishes a post to the timeline about the event. ‘Hide from timeline’ is an option for personal pages and for page updates (such as phone number, hour changes, etc.) but not for posts. The option is gone for me, and she told me she’d be right back.Ĭome time, find out Facebook is removing this option on organic posts for business profiles. I was told what I already knew, which was to click on the dots at the top of the right-hand corner of the post and select ‘hide from the timeline.’ I sent her a screenshot with evidence. Facebook finally rolled out its much-anticipated Timeline feature today, which brings a snazzy new interface to your profile, not to mention the ability to see every post anyones ever made back. I reached out to Facebook this morning regarding an entirely different issue and asked, ‘Oh, by the way – can I hide this post from the timeline?’ At first, I thought this was a desktop error as the option was available on the Facebook Page app – but it’s gone now. The existing comments will be retained, though. And immediately, Facebook will disable comments on that post. In the three-dots menu, click Turn Off Commenting. At the top-right corner of the post, click the three dots.
If youve already enabled your new profile, you can check it out right now. To use this option, access the post for which you want to turn off comments on Facebook. I have noticed that the ‘hide from timeline’ feature isn’t an option on ANY of the pages I manage. While 'old Facebook' made the online friendship breakup a bit less-in-your-face, the new Facebook Timeline makes it way easier to see whos decided to ax your online friendship.
