How to pin a post to the top of your Facebook Timeline
Do you have a special post on Facebook that you’d like everyone who visits your Timeline to see?
It could be something like a photo of a newly-born grandchild, a post announcing an upcoming family reunion – or most any type of info you can think of.
If you really want everyone who views your Timeline to see it, you can pin it right to the top of your Timeline to ensure that it can’t be missed.
Luckily, it’s very easy to pin a post to your Facebook Timeline. Just follow the steps below:
1 – Find the post you want to pin to the top of your Timeline and click (or tap) the three dots over on the right.
2 – Click (or tap) Pin post.
That’s all there is to it. That post is now pinned to the top of your Timeline where everyone who views your Timeline can’t help but see it.
When it comes time to unpin the post simply repeat the steps above and click (or tap) Unpin post in step #2.
