Using Activity log on Facebook to know when I followed someone on Facebook
This is the only helpful option that I have found to access follow information like following-date, month and year. This option will show you a list of the people you are following on Facebook along with the date when you followed them. Here is how to use it.
- First of all open your Facebook account and then tap on profile icon located in the upper right corner
- Navigate to the “Settings and Privacy” option and tap on it
- Tap on “Your Time on Facebook” option
- Click on “See Your Time”
- Scroll down and click on “Activity Log” and “See Activity Log” option
- Scroll down and click on “Connections” option to open all options and then tap on “Connected” option
- Here is the list of all connections that we have built on Facebook along with the time and date. But this list is too long to locate a specific person so we will have to apply some filters on it
- Tap on the “filters” icon to apply different filters to shorten this list. Apply the “Category” and “Date” filter.
- After I applied the filter it gave me a list of connections which also include the information when I started following techinsocial on Facebook. You can see the exact date when I followed “techinsocial” on Facebook
