The Link History feature has recently been introduced by Facebook to help users save the links they have accessed during their usage. Meta (the parent company of Facebook) stated that Link History is a useful tool that allows users to keep track of the links they have visited. Users can review the links they have previously accessed at any time. Meta also mentioned that Link History is not a new way for applications to track user activities. However, Meta also addresses the issue that when Link History is activated, the company can use users’ information to improve advertising.

When Link History is enabled, users who click on links on the Facebook or Instagram app will open the website in a browser integrated into the app, rather than the default web browser app on their phone.

Of course, the use of Link History is optional for users. Note that this feature is currently enabled by default. The data collected will be used to improve advertising to better suit users.

According to Facebook, the data in Link History will be deleted within 90 days if users disable this feature.

The Link History feature is currently being rolled out by region with different timeframes.
