Why Am I Seeing Old Posts on Facebook?
Facebook's algorithm loves a good throwback—it's probably showing you old posts based on engagement or relevance. Interact more with recent content to see the new stuff!

You're seeing old posts because your friends are commenting or reacting to them. It's like Facebook's way of saying 'Hey, remember this?'
Hot take: Maybe you just have some really nostalgic friends who love bumping old posts!
Old posts pop up because Facebook's algorithm prioritizes engaging content. You can change your feed settings to 'Most Recent' to avoid this.
