Have you ever looked through Facebook and gotten lost in a video loop, only to forget which informative documentary you were watching? You are not alone.
The Facebook app saves your scroll history so you can easily rewatch amusing or educational videos with a few taps.
This guide will walk you through the process of finding your recently watched videos on the Facebook app, allowing you to continue right where you left off.
Top Ways to Watch Recently Watched Videos on Facebook App
Because of the large amount of content available on Facebook, it can be difficult to find a video you've just watched. Whether you were watching an insightful video on losing weight or a stand-up comedy clip, Facebook's built-in tools help retrieve your watch history. Here's how:
Use the Activity Log
Your Activity Log tells you which Facebook video you should watch again. You can access all of your recently watched videos by doing this:
Step 1: Launch the Facebook app on your Android or iOS device.
Step 2: Tap on the three lines in the top right corner.
Step 3: Go to your profile by tapping your name at the top of the page.
Step 4: Choose the three dots under your profile photo.
Step 5: Select Activity log from the list of options.
Step 6: Find Logged Actions and Videos Watched.
Step 7: Tap Videos Watched from the list mentioned at the top of the menu.
Step 8: Go to Filters, then Categories.
Step 9: Choose videos that you have watched.
This is all there is to it. Go down to see all of the videos you have lately watched on Facebook.
Check the Watch Section
For iOS device users who frequently use the Facebook Watch feature, there is a simple way to review your watched history.
Step 1: Launch the Facebook app on your iOS device.
Step 2: Tap on the Watch icon.
Step 3: Once there, go to your profile under the Watch tab. This will bring up the choice for your watch history.
Step 4: When you select the History option, a library of your video track appears, including each Reel and clip you have paused to watch.
While Facebook has built-in means for accessing your watch history, you should be careful about sharing too much information with Facebook. Social media platforms are notorious about using your information to create buyer personas and run targeted ads based on your interests.
The bottom line is that the more you share private data online, the more vulnerable you are on the internet. Because data harvesters and online trackers are following your digital footprints round the clock, and you should consider staying private or sharing less information online.
