How to Unhide a Facebook Post on Desktop

Facebook makes it possible to conceal a post you’ve written without really erasing it, and the process is both simple and quick. This makes it easy to remove it from your timeline momentarily while maintaining its convenience. But what happens if you change your mind later and decide that you want the post to be visible again on your timeline?

Through the Hidden from timeline filter in your Activity Log, which is accessible via the three dots menu on your profile page, you are able to unhide posts on Facebook whether you are using a desktop browser or the Facebook mobile app.
