How to Find a Specific Post on Your Timeline

• Have you ever wanted to find a post that you posted a few weeks or months before on your timeline?
• Have you ever wanted to find something that someone else posted or said on your Facebook timeline?

I just had to do that a few days ago. I was looking for a post where friends had recommended a car repair shop that I should go to, but I couldn’t find it.

I scrolled down through my recent posts, but I had no luck.

So I searched for some tips and I found a method that works.

I decided to share it with you below, in case you ever have the same problem.
