If you’re a Facebook user, it’s important to understand how your posts and comments are viewed by other people. This is especially important if you want to make sure that your content is seen by as many people as possible. To view the edit history of any Facebook post or comment, open the Facebook app on your device and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the main screen. This will show you a list of all of your posts and comments from that day. On the right side of this list, you’ll see a list of all of your friends’ posts and comments. This will include any posts that they have made about your post or comment. If you’re not friends with anyone on Facebook, then this list won’t include any posts or comments from you. To view all of the changes that have been made to any post or comment on Facebook, click on the Edit History button at the bottom of this list. This will take you to a page where you can see all of the changes that have been made to your post or comment since it was last edited.
It’s pretty easy to edit Facebook posts. While that’s handy when you’re doing the editing, it can trip you up if you’re replying to someone who will edit their post later. To avoid embarrassment or trolling, Facebook lets you see the edit history of any post that’s been changed.

To find the history on a Facebook post, click the arrow on the top right corner of any post.
In the dropdown menu, click View Edit History.
For edited comments, you’ll see the word Edited next to the time stamp for the comment. Click this to view the comment’s edit history.
In both cases, a box will appear showing each version of the old post or comment and when it was made.
Most of the time people edit comments or posts, it’s to correct a typo or fix a mistake, so this probably won’t be all that interesting. However, if you find that the replies to a post don’t make sense or if someone claims to have said one thing while everyone is responding to something different, check this edit history to see what they really said.
