How to Recover Deleted Post/Post from Facebook.
Before we move on to the practical side of the question, let me delve into the timing issue mentioned in the first few bars of the guide.
As mentioned, if you want to recover deleted posts from Facebook, there is a maximum time frame within which we must act. Going more specifically, Facebook has stated that content previously posted and then deleted from your Journal can be restored within 30 days of the actual deletion. Posts deleted for more than 30 days are automatically permanently deleted and are therefore unrecoverable.
When you delete content posted to your timeline, Facebook moves it to a private area, called a basket, that only you can see. This section of your profile is accessible through the Account Activity Log feature. Never heard of it? Below, I'll briefly explain what it's all about. The Facebook activity log is a kind of "history" of all transactions made on the social network.
Likes, comments, reactions, personal information, searches performed, logins and logouts, friend requests received and sent: all this and more can be seen thanks to the functionality I'm talking about. The Activity Log gives you a summary of the operations you have performed, showing you from the most recent to the most remote ones, and also allows you to delete or hide the various contents published in the Address Book Agenda.
I will explain in the following chapters how to access the Activity Log to restore deleted posts on smartphones, tablets and computers. I also inform you that you have the possibility to recover deleted content from the Diary even if youraccount has been deleted(provided that the cancellation of the post and the cancellation of the account occurs within 30 days).
In this case, you must first restore your Facebook account: to learn how to do this, read this tutorial. Through your Facebook account settings, you can also create a copy of the data and content related to your profile, including all published posts. I will dedicate the last chapters of this guide to show you how this option works.
