Accessing a record of previously viewed short-form videos on the Facebook platform is not directly supported through a dedicated feature. Facebook’s design prioritizes current content discovery over retroactive browsing of viewed Reels. The absence of a straightforward method contrasts with platforms offering comprehensive viewing histories.
The ability to review previously watched content can provide users with several benefits, including rediscovering entertaining or informative clips, tracking content consumption habits, and easily sharing videos with others after initial viewing. Understanding what content has resonated with an individual can also assist in refining content preferences within the algorithm.
