Facebook’s feed is designed to recommend content you’d likely want to see, and it’s based on your activity on Facebook, your connections, and the level of engagement a given post receives.
But sometimes you just want to see the latest Facebook posts. If this is you, it’s important to know that you’re not just stuck with Facebook’s feed algorithm. Sorting your Facebook feed to show the most recent posts is a simple process:
- From your Facebook home screen, select Flow in the left menu
- Your messages are now sorted chronologically, from the most recent to the bottom.
Of course, there’s a little more to it than that, so read on as we describe the process in more detail.
how to View Your Facebook Feed in Chronological Order: Computer/Web Method
If you use Facebook on the web through your PC, the process of viewing your feed (the most recent posts) chronologically is quite simple. Here’s what to do:
Step 1: Open your favorite web browser on your PC and navigate to Facebook.com. Once there, log in to your account if you haven’t already done so.
2nd step: Once logged in, the first thing you should see is your feed. To view your posts in the feed in chronological order, go to the left menu and select the icon See everything option.

Step 3: Then in the menu that appears, under the Social header, select the Flow option.
On the Feed page, you will see a feed of Facebook posts already sorted to show the most recent posts at the top. At first, this page will show you by default the All tab, which displays all your friends’ posts and followed pages.
But if you want, you can fine-tune your feed to only show chronological posts from your Favorites, Friends, GroupsAnd Pages – simply select one of these tabs to see only these types of posts in chronological order.

how to Chronologically View Your Facebook Feed: Mobile App Method
The following instructions were written and tested on an Android device, but should also apply to iOS devices.
Here’s how to view your Facebook feed chronologically on the mobile app.
Step 1: Open the Facebook app on your mobile device. Your app should by default show you the home feed, which will show all the top posts, but not necessarily the most recent ones.
2nd step: To see the most recent posts, tap the Menu icon that looks like your profile picture with three horizontal lines in front. On Android, this is in the upper right corner of your screen.
On the Menu screen, under the All shortcuts header, select the Flow option.

Step 3: The Feed screen has its own subsections that you can select to further refine your newly chronologically sorted feed: All, Favorites, Friends, GroupsAnd Pages.
Each of the subsections of the Feed screen should show you its respective posts in chronological order, with the most recent posts at the top.
