FACEBOOK HOW TOs

At this age and time, anyone who's reading this is  most probably on Facebook.

So this post is just to help y'all Facebook users get the most from Zuckerberg's innovation.
Here's a list of some features that would definitely  spice up your Facebook experience.


               MENTIONING A FRIEND IN A COMMENT.
This is  definite way of making sure someone is notified about whatever it is you think might be of interest to them.
To mention a friend in  a comment.
  • Write their Facebook username starting with @.  For instance, if you want to mention me, just type @Nick and Facebook will give suggestions of all friends in your friend list who have the name Nick in their usernames.
  • Select the intended friend and that's it! You just mentioned a friend and they will definitely get the notification. Do not forget to post your comment. haha.



             POSTING STICKERS
Apart from the emojis that you get when you click on that smiley face just next to the camera icon on the right side of the comment box,  Facebook has a provision for amazing stickers. to get those as your comment, you should:
  • Click on the smiley icon.
  • In the resultant drop down menu,you will note a plus + at the top right corner. Click on that and you will access the awesome stickers.
  • Select any sticker that you deem fit and BAM! You just made a sticker comment.



           KEEP TRACK OF YOUR FACEBOOK ACTIVITY
At a point in time, one needs to dig up some old post or comment you made on Facebook  long ago. If you are an active FB user you definitely know it will be one tedious process going through your notifications or timeline to get what you want.
But worry not. There is a record of all your activity on Facebook, from sending and receiving friend requests to posing in a group. 
To view your Facebook activity:
  • Head over to your timeline
  • You will note a panel written "View Activity Log"
  • Click on that option and a list of all your Facebook activity (dating from the day you joined Facebook to date) will appear.



          APPEAR OFFLINE EVEN WHEN YOU ARE ONLINE .
Lets face it. We all have those nagging pals who want to chat you up everytime you appear online on facebook. At times we just dont want to chat, but we have to keep up with them just not to appear rude.
But did you know you could turn off the online status and have your online peace.
To appear offline.
  • Locate the cog wheel icon on the right side of you Facebook page,at the bottom of the online list in the search box.


  • Click on that icon and select turn off chat in the pop up menu. And that's just it. You can now enjoy the peace.


There are many more awesome features on Facebook. If I left out any of them kindly post them in the comment section and I'll be glad to update this post.
