The Facebook timeline is one of the most popular features on Facebook, but do you know that there are some users on the platform who don’t even know of its existence?

The Facebook Timeline
Without any further delay, what is this feature? This is a feature on Facebook to be precise. Now, what does this feature do? The Facebook timeline is a place where you share your photos, posts, and other experiences on the Facebook platform. On a person’s Facebook timeline, he or she can add a profile picture, a cover photo, edit your personal information, view your activities on Facebook via the activity log feature, and update your status and so much more.
Many users on the platform have always mistaken this feature for the Facebook news feed feature. Well, both features really look alike but they are worlds apart in the sense that they are not the same.

On your timeline on the other hand you will find your posts, pictures, and posts you have been tagged in.
