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.

How to view Link History on Facebook

Open the Facebook app on your phone and log in (note that your app must be updated to the latest version). Tap on the Menu icon in the top right corner of the screen and select Settings and Privacy. Here, you can see the Link History section. Accessing this section allows you to view the history of the links you have clicked on.


The process of viewing Link History on Android and iOS phones is the same.

Frequently asked questions

Facebook’s Off-Facebook Activity feature allows the company to track your activity on other websites and apps, even when you’re not using Facebook. This data is then used to target ads and make suggestions to you based on your interests and behavior. If you’re concerned about your privacy and want to reduce the amount of data Facebook collects on you, you can disable this feature.

To disable Off-Facebook Activity, go to Facebook’s Settings & Privacy menu, and select ‘Settings’. From there, click on ‘Your Facebook Information’ and then ‘Off-Facebook Activity’. You’ll be able to view and manage your off-platform activity, and you can choose to clear your history and turn off future activity tracking.

When you disable Off-Facebook Activity, Facebook will no longer associate your activity on other websites and apps with your Facebook account. This means that Facebook won’t use this data to target ads or make suggestions to you. However, it’s important to note that disabling this feature does not opt you out of seeing ads on Facebook entirely, and Facebook may still use other data to target ads to you.

No, disabling Off-Facebook Activity will not delete your activity on the Facebook platform itself, such as your posts, likes, comments, and messages. It only affects the data that Facebook collects about your activity on other websites and apps.

Yes, disabling Off-Facebook Activity will not impact your ability to use Facebook normally. You can still post, like, comment, message, and perform all the usual actions on the platform. The only difference is that Facebook won’t be tracking and collecting data about your activity on other websites and apps.
