What Are Facebook Shortcuts Based On?

When you open Facebook and click on the menu button in your app, you may have noticed a carousel of options labelled as ‘Your Shortcuts’.

These are quick single-click buttons that will take you directly to pages, groups, and profiles that you visit on a regular basis – and are determined by your activity and the frequency with which you visit certain corner of the Facebook app.

The more you search for and visit a page or user profile, the higher the chances of its appearing on ‘Your Shortcuts’ carousel.

Can You Remove Shortcuts?

Because Facebook tracks activity and uses it to determine which pages, groups, and profiles to offer as shortcuts, there is no specific way to remove them – rather, you can stop visiting a page as frequently to try and unseat it from a coveted shortcut position.

So, if there is a page that is currently listed as a shortcut that you want to remove from this position, you will need to stop visiting the page – and perhaps visit other pages more frequently – to replace the unwanted shortcut with something new.

To cut a long story short, your shortcuts on Facebook are determined solely by your activity and the pages, profiles, and groups that you regularly search for, click on, and/or visit. They are designed to be convenient and to make your browsing even easier and more seamless.

We hope this helps!
