Facebook, has been on a spree of updates to many of its products’ with the recent being the introduction of a new feature that would allow it’s use to bulk delete their old posts without doing so manually.
This seems to come in handy for just about all the precautionary reasons in the world right now as the many happenings on the internet for the past couple weeks don’t seem to have any ending soon.
Rape accusations are flying all over, racists internet users are been taken to the cleaners with any slightest hint saturated on our feed now making for the next credible evidence.
Even though we were clear tenegers when we made those posts, the internet world doesn’t care an inch with it’s pushing out memories which these “internet dragging professionals” use on us all…Hehehe
Other times, if you dig deep into your Facebook accounts, you would find tons of posts or pictures that are completely irrelevant now and holds no value to you.
It could about an old friendship or a relationship that no longer exists. While you might have happily moved on in life, Facebook will remind you every year of the past that you don’t want to revisit.
However, Facebook is introducing a whole new “Manage Activity” tool that will give you two options to deal with your old posts and the best thing is you can delete posts and pictures in bulk, without really going to every single post and hitting the delete button.
“Whether you’re entering the job market after college or moving on from an old relationship, we know things change in people’s lives, and we want to make it easy for you to curate your presence on Facebook to more accurately reflect who you are today,” Facebook said in a blog post.
The Manage Activity tool will give you two options to deal with your old posts. You either archive them or get rid of them completely. The archive feature would mean that posts will not be visible to other visitors or to your friends. You can retain the content just for yourself without letting others to view it.
This could be a nice way of holding on to the memories of the past but without including everyone else into it.
And just about holding onto that little internet security you crave…if there were any ofc
The other option will be to move your posts to Trash. The trash folder will keep your posts for 30 days before deleting them completely from the app.
But bear in mind that, if you want to manually delete the posts like old times or wish to restore them you can do that before the app gets rid of your posts.
No doubt, this is a great time to be alive with the social media giant also announcing the development of filters to help you sort and find what you’re looking for, like posts with specific people or from a specific date range
As per the company, the Manage Activity tool will arrive first on the Mobile app and Facebook Lite and then to the Facebook web. The company has rolled out the feature for some users already and it is gradually releasing it for everyone.
Over to you now, how could this feature be beneficial to you now and in the long run? Let’s talk them in the comments section.
