See your Facebook video watch history, step by step
Open the Facebook menu
Open the menu (three lines) to reach your activity. Open "Facebook", tap the "three lines" in the top right (or your profile picture), then scroll down to "Settings & privacy".
Open "Activity history"
The "Activity log" gathers all your activity, including videos. Open the "Activity log" (or "Activity history"). At the top, several tabs appear, including "Videos you've watched".
Open "Videos you've watched"
The "Videos you've watched" tab lists every video you've recently viewed. Tap the "Videos you've watched" tab. You'll then see every video you've "recently watched" on Facebook, from newest to oldest.
Good to know
From this history, you can reopen a video, save it, or "clear" the history if you'd rather it wasn't kept.
Good to know
- The history is "personal": only you can see it.
- You can "delete" a single entry or clear the entire video history.
- On a computer, you'll also find the history in your profile's "Activity log".
Frequently asked questions

- How do I find a video I watched long ago?
