Facebook Notes used to be a popular feature for sharing long posts and personal stories. Unfortunately, it has been deactivated due to recent platform updates, making it inaccessible for further use. However, if you wish to recover your old Facebook notes containing your past thoughts and ideas, this tutorial will guide you on how to find them within the Facebook app.
Where are My Facebook Notes?
FB Notes, the popular feature for sharing long-form content, has undergone many changes. Now, as this feature has been blocked from creating new notes, users can still find their old published notes before the update in the FB Settings > Access your information > Your activity across Facebook menu. Also, Notes are only accessible on Facebook Workplace (not Business or Personal pages). Read the upcoming section to find out the detailed steps for this.
How to Find Your Facebook Notes
The FB Notes feature has relocated to the user’s profile page. Previously positioned on the left-hand side, recent updates have been implemented by FB to improve accessibility and enhance the user experience.
Let’s explore the updated FB interface to find out where your beloved Notes are now located.
1. Open the Facebook app on your phone.

When I click “Notes” it just shows all my posts I’ve ever shared…Not my “notes”
Same. I am downloading the activity to see if it will work that way. I also tried to replace YOURTIMELINEPOSTS with NOTES – no luck.
Dear Reader (Fbuser)
First, we would like to thank you for being our reader and also appreciate you for bringing this query to us.
Facebook Notes has been disabled in October 2020. So you cannot create a new one. But you can access your published Notes before the update using the above methods. Also, Notes are only accessible on Facebook Workplace (not Business or Personal pages).
We hope this answers your query.
Facebook Notes are back, and have been for at least a month. However, they’re only accessible under Facebook Groups (not Business or Personal pages).
Grup Facebook yg bagaimana ya, saya penasaran sekali. Pengen buka2 catatan lama saya di Facebook.
I’ve never heard of Facebook Workplace. When I created notes, it was from my normal FB profile page. Now they’ve disappeared. When I click “Notes” (following the instructions given above), I am taken to a page showing all my FB posts. It doesn’t take me to Notes.
The whole point of keeping notes is that one can read them at a later date. Deleting user’s notes, or making them impossible to access (which amounts to the same thing) is shabby.
Here’s my update. IF you can get to the page linked below, and scroll ALL THE WAY to the bottom, you can find NOTES listed under ‘Other Activity’. I clicked on that and it was a list of all my posts, again. I filtered through the years of that, searching on a key word of the note (Happiness) and found nothing EXCEPT a Blogpost of mine referencing the Chow Mein Happiness recipe I had written and was seeking. So while I never did find the notes, I did find what I was ultimately looking for at my old blog. Alzheimer’s, I tell ya. Your mileage may vary. But notes is at least ‘noted’ in this section, way at the bottom.
