Facebook Note

Funny illustration glossary
Once a blogging tool, now just another feature in the Facebook graveyard.

Facebook Note was a feature that allowed users to create and share long-form content - essentially functioning like a mini-blog within Facebook. Unlike regular status updates, Notes supported formatted text, images, and embedded links, making it ideal for writing longer, more detailed posts.

πŸ“Œ However, as of October 2020, Facebook officially discontinued the Notes feature. While users can no longer create new Notes, old ones may still be accessible on personal profiles or pages.

Was Facebook Note useful?

Before Facebook was flooded with short-form content, Notes provided a space for longer, more structured posts. It was particularly useful for:

  • Sharing detailed thoughts – Blog-style posts without needing a separate website.
  • Businesses & brands – A place for in-depth updates, announcements, or storytelling.
  • Writers & content creators – A way to engage audiences without external blogging platforms.

Can you still use Facebook Notes?

No. As of October 2020, Facebook removed the Notes feature, so users can no longer create or edit Notes.

Where did old Facebook Notes go?

If you published Notes in the past, they might still be visible on your profile under "Activity Log" > "Your Posts". However, Facebook has gradually phased them out, so some may no longer be accessible.

What are alternatives to Facebook Notes?

Since Notes is gone, users can:

  • Use Facebook posts – Standard posts now allow longer text.
  • Create a Facebook Group post – Some community groups offer better formatting for discussions.
  • Publish on a blog – Platforms like Medium, WordPress, or LinkedIn Articles offer better blog-style content creation.

Why did Facebook remove Notes?

Facebook likely discontinued Notes due to low user engagement and a shift toward shorter, more visual content like Stories and Reels.
