See Someone’s Past Facebook Posts: Search and Privacy Tips

Open the person’s Facebook profile and scroll through their timeline to see posts they have shared with you, starting with the most recent. If their profile has a Posts tab or a profile search option, use it to narrow the results instead of scrolling through years of updates.

If you remember a phrase or topic, use Facebook’s search bar to search for the person’s name alongside a distinctive keyword, then filter the results to posts when that option is available. This works better than scrolling when you want one update, but it may not surface every older post.

You can only view posts available to you under that person’s current audience settings; being friends does not necessarily make every past post visible. If an older post is missing, the person may have changed its audience, deleted it, or posted it somewhere else, such as a group you cannot access.

Check the product’s listed specifications when evaluating understand what you can see.

If you meant your own past posts, go to your profile and use its Posts tab or Activity Log to browse what you shared.
