Deleting History from an Android Mobile Phone

If you aren’t already logged in, enter your email and password to log into the Facebook app, or use another search engine app. From there you will access the main menu. Tap the magnifying glass in the search bar, which will take you to your recent searches. Once there, click “Edit” in the top right corner, which transfers you to your Activity Log.

Your Activity Log allows you to do two things, in addition to showing you your history. You can filter your searches based on a number of factors, such as posts you’re tagged, photos, videos, and other widgets on your profile, but you can delete everything as well. Click “Clear Searches” to delete everything, and “Confirm” when Facebook asks you to do so.

Deleting History From a Browser

Log in to Facebook. On your personal profile there is an option to view your activity log in the top right corner of your screen. Click that, and you will see a drop down menu labeled “Filters” on the left. Underneath where it says “Comments,” click “More” and find the tab that reads “Search.” From there, you can click to clear your searches on the top right of the screen, in the same manner as the mobile browser method.

These methods are universal; you can delete your history on any desktop or tablet in the same fashion. Your search history is only available to you, and you can protect it further with PSafe Total. The anti-theft feature will keep track of your data and can block, locate, and erase it in case of a threat. You can also lock Facebook away from incriminating forces in the Vault, which will require an additional password for later retrieval.

As Facebook grew, the poking function became more bothersome than useful, until the Facebook “poke” reached an almost ironic, cutesy stage, where people would “poke” each other for the sake of being funny. While we don’t know what sort of social status poking someone holds these days, we can tell you that the poking function has been relegated to the world of Facebook apps, which many people rarely check.

Two Ways to Check Your Pokes

If you’re looking to check your Facebook pokes, the first option is to open the Facebook app, and go all the way to the bottom of the screen, where you can click the “More” button. Then, go to the “Apps” button, and click again. Unless Pokes is one of your more frequently used apps, this is where it will appear. If you tend to use the app frequently, it may appear on the list of options when you initially click “More,” maybe even showing up next to one of Facebook’s more favored apps right now, “On This Day.”

Once found, click the Pokes app, and there you are—you’ll be able to see who has poked you recently, whom you’ve poked, and Facebook’s suggestions for who you should poke! For example, if you look at a friend’s page often, the Poke app will probably suggest you give this person a quick “poke.”

The second way to check your pokes is to simply go to the search bar at the top of the Facebook Mobile app, and type in “Pokes.” This should take you to the app itself, which will offer you the same options as the method described above.

Don’t Poke an Eye Out!
