Let's admit it, we all have stalked someone or the other on Facebook at least once in our lifetime. Since everybody these days holds an account in the world's largest social media website, chances are that you'll find your ex somewhere in the search results along with some images in which he/she has been tagged.
While skimming across those profile pages of users and their friend's friends, you might have recognised that if you search for a person or a page on Facebook, let it be on the app or on the Web, FB stores that search data. So the next time you tap on the search bar, it automatically shows a drop down list showing the recent searches.
While auto storing those names (with images) might be easy for you, it might also put you in trouble, especially when your close ones end up seeing your search history.
So for those who want to avoid any awkward situation with spouse/partner or relatives, here are 5 simple steps how you can completely wipe out your recent Facebook search history from the Web and the Facebook app.
Step 1 - On the website, head to your profile page on Facebook and search for the 'Activity Log' or 'View Activity Log' option. You can find this option next to your cover image on top right.
Step 2 - Once clicked on the 'Activity Log' option, you will see a list of your activities including which posts you liked, reacted, commented shared and others. On the same page you will find 'More' option on the left side that falls right below the Photos, Likes and Comments sections.
Step 3 - On clicking the 'More' option, you will see an expanded list of filters. In that list, you will see the 'Search' tab.
Step 4 - Inside the 'Search' tab (we suggest you click on it when alone, to avoid conflict), you will see a complete list of all the pages and users you searched for. The searches are sorted based on the time, date, month and year.
