On Social networking site, sometime we make silly mistakes while sharing an update, and it’s important to make changes/correct it before it goes viral or it reaches out to good number of people. Google plus understands that, and offer an easy way to edit your published status updates, and make changes. Where as Facebook doesn’t offer this for all the status updates type. In this quick tip, I will share how you can edit your shared status update on Facebook. This tip will work with Facebook pages and profiles.

Editing published Status update on Facebook

Let me make one thing clear here: You can’t use this trick for normal text status update. If you are following the tip to share blog posts in the form of images (To give more visibility and for better CTR on mobile devices), this will work for you. If you are using app like PostPlanner, I’m sure you must be taking advantage of feature like “Share as an image”, for sharing your blog posts. Here is how to do this:

• Go to any post (Status update) which you have shared in the form of image.
• Click on the image and you will notice an “edit” button at the right.

• Now, make changes and save it.

This is handy when you have to make corrections or you forget to add hashtags. Sad part is, this trick only works with images or a post shared in the form of images.

For direct link share, you need to delete the post and reshare it. Facebook should consider adding this feature for page admins atleast, as sometime a good status update looks silly because of common error or mistakes. For now, this small tip will be helpful for anyone who often make mistake while sharing status update. Do remember, key is to share status update along with an image.
