Facebook has started archiving all users' link history worldwide for both Android and iOS devices.<\/p>\n

Users can opt out of the feature, but by default it is enabled, allowing Meta to use collected data for targeted advertising.<\/p>\n

Why it's important to us
\n<\/strong>As digital marketing moves towards a future without cookies<\/a> and the introduction of increased privacy, the effective but uncertain targeted advertising faces new challenges. Facebook's new feature may well be a shortcut for marketers looking to reach high-value consumers, but the solution may be temporary.<\/p>\n

Availability<\/strong>
\nThis feature is being rolled out gradually and may not be available in your location at this time. Meta has not given a specific timeline for when the link history archiving option will be rolled out, but has confirmed that it will be extended to all mobile users globally.<\/p>\n

Currently, this feature is exclusive to mobile use and is not available for desktop.<\/p>\n

How it works<\/strong>
\nLink history is a function that keeps track of the web pages you have visited through Facebook's<\/a> mobile browsers in the last 30 days. If enabled, it stores links you have clicked on within Facebook's mobile browser during this period. It is important to note that links visited in Messenger chats are not included in the link history.<\/p>\n

How to turn off Link History<\/strong>
\nTo turn off this feature, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Select a link inside the Facebook app to launch the Facebook mobile browser.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on the three dots in the lower right corner and select Browser settings.<\/li>\n
  3. To enable the link history, toggle the switch next to "Allow link history" and confirm by pressing "Allow".<\/li>\n
  4. To disable link history, toggle the switch next to \u201cAllow link history\u201d and confirm by tapping \u201cDisallow\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
