How to hide Facebook posts created by others

Yet if you don't such as a post that you're identified or pointed out in, you can ask the individual who created it to edit or erase it. Alternately, you have 2 other choices:
You can hide it from your timeline. This isn't the same as removing the post - as well as as a matter of fact, it might still show up in other individuals's timelines - but you can keep it from turning up in your very own. To do that, click or tap the three dots on the top right of the post as well as choose "Hide from timeline".
If you're identified in the post, you can eliminate the tag. This will prevent it from showing up in your timeline and from searches that consist of articles with your tag. To do that, click or tap the three dots on the upper right of the post and also select "Remove tag".
