If you make a mistake on a Facebook post, now you can edit and correct yourself, something that many people will be happy about. However, your post will be marked as ‘edited’, and anyone who can see the post will be able to view the edit history.

Editing posts on Facebook is possible on the web, and is being rolled out to the Android app. So far we have not been able to edit posts on any Android device, and iOS users will have to wait till the next app update.

Now you can edit your Facebook posts

You can edit anything you posted on your Timeline, apparently as far back in the past as you like. Click the arrow on a post, and you’ll now have the option to edit. Once you do, that post will be marked as ‘edited’, even if you undo your edit. This is not a way to hide your mistakes or embarrassing posts! You can, of course, still delete anything you post.

The editing history could be quite funny, if used creatively, it will be interesting to see whether editing posts becomes normal amongst Facebook users.
