How To Find and Delete Videos You’ve Watched On Facebook

As we all know, things get buried quickly in the Facebook news and social media feeds. New videos become old videos in a matter of minutes.

In this simple tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to watch recently watched videos on Facebook on your desktop and in the mobile app.

How To Find Recently Watched Videos On Facebook Desktop

Luckily, it’s not hard to find recently watched videos on Facebook. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Go to your Facebook profile
2. Click the three horizontal dots icon (the menu icon on the right side of the screen under your profile picture).
3. Click on Activity Log in the drop-down menu.
4. Click on Videos you’ve watched on the Activity Log page. You’ll see a list of all the Facebook videos in reversed chronological order.
5. Click on a video to watch it again.

How To Find Recently Watched Videos On Facebook App for mobile

Finding the Facebook watch video history on a mobile device like Android or iPhone is equally simple. Just follow the below steps:

1. Open the Facebook app
2. Tap on your profile picture to view your Facebook profile
3. Tap the three dots under your profile name to open your Facebook account settings
4. Tap Activity log
5. Tap Your Facebook Activity
6. Scroll down and tap on Posts to unfold
7. Scroll down and tap on See more
8. Tap Videos you’ve watched to see the history of videos

Unfortunately, you can’t simply click on the video to watch it again. I don’t understand why Facebook hasn’t added this feature.

So, if you want to watch a video again on mobile, you need to log in to Facebook via the mobile browser and follow the steps for the desktop site.

How to delete videos from the Facebook watch history

You can delete the entire watched video history by clicking Clear Video Watch History.

If you want to delete only a specific video from Facebook’s video watch history, press the three little dots next to the video and then click the delete button.

How to save videos on Facebook to easily rewatch them later

If you find an important video, it’s possible to save it, similar to what you can do with other Facebook posts.

The fastest way is to click the three little dots next to the video and then choose Save video. This will add the video to your saved items list.

Choose a collection or create a new one, and click Done.

You can also do this from the video history you watched. Go to your activity log and navigate to the videos you watched, as mentioned above. Then click on a video to open it. From here, click the three little dots and choose Save video.

How to see your saved Facebook videos

If you want to see video content you’ve saved on Facebook, there’s an easy way to do that…

1. Navigate to the Facebook Activity Log as mentioned above
2. Click on Interactions (in the left sidebar)
3. From the menu that unfolds, click on Saved
4. Scroll through the list of saved posts and find the video.
5. Click on the video to view it again

I find this is the best way to access your saved videos again.
