If you are an active Facebook user, you might have shared hundreds of posts in text, photos, and videos on your profile. There’s also a possibility you may have deleted a few posts by mistake and later regret doing so. If this often happens to you, this post might relieve some pressure from you.

On Facebook, you get an option to recover your deleted profile posts, but there’s a condition here. Facebook allows you to recover posts deleted within 30 days; once the 30 days pass, the posts are permanently deleted, and there’s no restoration option left.
