In a bid to keep you engaged with video content on its platform, Facebook launched its own video service – Facebook Watch. It’s just another way to discover videos that interest you and watch them or add them to the watchlist for viewing later. However, there’s one problem – like other services, it keeps a record of all your watched Facebook videos. So, if you don’t want to make those videos open for the world to see, clear them from history. Here’s how to remove the history of all your watched Facebook videos at once.
Remove the history of all your watched Facebook videos instantly?
The history of all your watched Facebook videos will be held indefinitely in the event you need to find your way back to a perhaps-forgotten episode you watched earlier. It can also reveal the kind of content you watch often and if someone has access to your device, they can see where you’ve been. So, it’s practically a cliché. If you don’t want to land yourself in any trouble make sure you delete your Facebook Watch history at least every week.
Launch the Facebook app on your mobile. Tap the Menu (visible as 3 horizontal bars) in the lower right corner of the app screen and select Settings.
When directed to a new screen, scroll down to Your information section. Tap the Activity log option to expand it.
Under the Activity log, scroll horizontally to locate the Video watched tab. When found tap to select it.
As soon as you select the Videos watched tab, Facebook will display the Clear Video Watch History option under the Videos you’ve watched tab. Tap it to remove all watched Facebook videos. You can also deleted videos individually.
Once all your watched videos on fb are removed, you’ll see a blank screen with ‘No items’ note under the Activity History screen.
In addition to offering a way to remove your Watch history, Facebook also offers basic tools for discovering new content, saving videos for later viewing. By the way, do you know how to rewind Live videos in Facebook.
