The Genius Facebook Tool That Fixes ALL Embarrassing Moments

Have you been using it?

Cathy Donohue

While Facebook is a life-saver when it comes to keeping in touch with friends, it’s definitely caused a few embarrassing moments too.

Liking something by accident or tagging the wrong person can happen all too easily and leaves you very red-faced in the process.

The good news is there’s a way around this and it comes in the form of your activity log.

If you’re not already familiar with it, then you need to sort that out ASAP because it allows you to delete posts and comments, unlike posts from other people and hide certain updates from your profile.

All you have to do click on the drop-down menu at the very top on the right-hand side of your Facebook toolbar.

There’s a little pencil icon at the side of each entry so this is where you can edit each post and if you’ve made a mistake (as in liked something you wish you hadn’t- for shame) you can erase all evidence.
