There are always so many things to learn about Facebook. Here are just a few helpful details that you may or may not already know. Either way, there are many people out there who don’t know. Feel free to share your comments on other Facebook tips and tricks and then share them with people you know to help someone else out.
How do I edit or delete a Facebook post or a comment I made?
This is very easy to accomplish. Directly to the right of your post, there are three dots … They are not always visible depending on the method you are using to view Facebook. Simply touch to the right of your post or comment, select the three dots… and select what you want to do.
How do I use check-in on Facebook but not post it until I am home?
I like to use the check-in functionality but for security and privacy reasons, I don’t want people to know I am not home (or away on vacation). You can do it! It is quite simple. Check-in as Only Me and post. When you get home change the post to Public or Friends or whatever you prefer. Note: It will show as the time you that you actually posted it.
Pin this for later! Sharing is caring; share this with all of your friends on Facebook and Twitter too!

Great tutorial!! I learned by trial and error.
Great tips! I love Facebook. I don’t know why people complain about it. I think social media is what you make it to be.
I took forever to learn Facebook. Good job teaching.
I have never used the check-in feature, but I’m glad to know that you can add it after you get home. Thanks for the pointers!
The check-in tip is helpful! I like it to say when I was actually there, but I always hold off for that reason! Thanks.
Thanks for the tip. I’m learning to actually look at the 3 dots. Seems to be the trend these non descript dots.
I did not know about the check ins. I wish I would have read this hours earlier when I was at Zions. Great tip!
Great tips! Thank you for sharing!
great tips
I know that delete function can be super helpful! Sometimes we just want to take something back from public display. Thanks for sharing these tips.
Great tips, one of my favorites is the turn on notifications for a post. So if there’s a specific thread I want to follow I don’t have to leave a comment like “following” lol Thanks for this 🙂
Thanks for sharing another a tip!
Great idea about posting your checkin’s later! I usually do it because I don’t want the people I’m with to think I’m distracted and not paying attention to them, but I have to then search for the place when I’m no longer nearby (harder than you might think). Using your suggestion is way easier!
Super helpful for those who need it! Thanks
Great tips! Thanks
Great suggestions & tips!
Uh, did NOT know you can checkin but have it post later. I NEVER checkin because I dont need people knowing where I am at that moment plus my home is empty! thx
Exactly! So the date stamp stays and doesn’t change so people know it isn’t current!
Great tips! Thank you so much for sharing!
I never knew I could post a check-in later. This is so helpful to know. Thanks for the information!
