Do you want to bring a hidden post back to your timeline so everyone can see it? If so, Facebook makes it easy to unhide your hidden posts. Let’s explore how this is done on mobile devices.

This is for mobile devices using Facebook. Screenshots are from iPhone XR

When you unhide a post, the post becomes available on your timeline. Later, if you change your mind, you can re-hide the post and make it hidden again.

If you are using an iPhone, iPad, or Android phone, use the official Facebook app to make a post visible.

First, open the Facebook app on your phone. At the top right-hand corner of the app, tap the Menu icon (three horizontal lines). On some devices, the Menu icon may be in the lower right-hand corner. Refer to the below image:

Next, a Menu page will open. Scroll down this page, then tap Settings & Privacy. See the below image:

Now, in the expanded Settings & Privacy menu, tap Settings. See the following image:

Next, on the Settings & Privacy page, scroll down to the Your Information section and tap Activity Log. Refer to the below image:

Now, scroll down the Activity Log page to the Logged Actions and Other Activity section. Here, tap the down-arrow icon. See the below image:

Next, select Hidden from profile in the menu. See the following image:

Facebook will now display all your hidden posts depending on the number of posts. If you have a large number of posts, you may get a server timeout message in trying to load your data. If you keep timing out, select the View Activity History button to locate a hidden post.

Now, to unhide one of these posts, tap the three dots next to the post. Refer to the below image:

Next, from the menu that opens, select Add to profile. See the below image:

And Facebook will add your post back to your timeline.
