Has any of your Important Post been Deleted and You Want to Recover a Deleted Facebook Post?

When you post any stuff to your Facebook Wall or even to any of your friend’s pages etc, Facebook gives you the option to erase entries you no longer want to see which is kind of great feature.

Yet, it is often inconvenient when you accidentally delete any important post and want to recover it.

Facebook has strict privacy controls in place that do not allow the retrieval of Wall messages, but if you have the right account settings, you can use a workaround that lets you get back the Wall posts you need.

How to Recover a Deleted Facebook Post?

  • Login to Your Facebook Account
  • Click the “Messages” icon and then click the “See All Messages” link that displays at the bottom of the drop-down list.
  • Scroll through the list of messages that appear on the page and click on the one you want to recover.

Facebook lists your communications, including deleted Wall posts, by title and date. You also have the option to type a name in the Search Messages field at the top.

If you don’t see your desired post, it means your Facebook Settings to recover deleted posts is not enabled. So, by this time, you won’t be able to recover your deleted post, BUT, after making these changes in Settings you will be able to Recover your deleted Facebook Posts in future.
