How Do I Remove Someone From a Shortcut on Facebook?

To remove someone from a shortcut on Facebook, you need to access your shortcut list and delete the shortcut containing that person.

Access Your Facebook Shortcut List

Your Facebook shortcut list contains shortcuts to profiles of your friends and other people you interact with frequently. To access it:

1. Open the Facebook app on your mobile device or navigate to www.facebook.com on a desktop browser.
2. Click on the three horizontal lines menu icon in the top right corner.
3. Select “Shortcuts” from the menu.

This will open your full shortcut list. You will see circular profile icons for each shortcut you have created.

Find and Delete the Shortcut

Once your shortcut list is open, find the shortcut for the person you want to remove:

1. Scroll through your shortcut list and locate the profile icon for that person.
2. Tap and hold your finger on the icon for 2-3 seconds. This will make a pop-up menu appear.
3. Select “Remove” from the pop-up menu.

The shortcut will be immediately deleted. The person’s profile will no longer be accessible directly from your shortcut list.

Removing Shortcuts on Desktop

The process is very similar if you want to remove a Facebook shortcut on the desktop site:

1. Click the down arrow at the top right of the Facebook window.
2. Choose “Shortcuts” from the drop down menu.
3. Hover your mouse over the shortcut you want to delete.
4. Click on the “X” that appears in the top corner.

This will instantly delete the shortcut on desktop. The person’s profile will no longer show in your shortcut bar.

Re-Adding a Shortcut

If you deleted a shortcut by mistake, you can easily add it back. Simply go to that person’s Facebook profile and click “Add Shortcut” next to their name. This will instantly recreate the shortcut.

You can also remove and add back shortcuts from the shortcut management screen. To get there:

1. Go to your shortcut list.
2. Tap “Edit Shortcuts” at the top on mobile or “Edit Shortcuts Bar” on desktop.

From here, you can delete or re-add shortcuts as needed. Click “Done” when you are finished editing.

Other Shortcut Management Tips

Here are some other things you can do to organize and manage your Facebook shortcuts:

• Rearrange shortcuts – Tap and hold shortcuts to drag them into a different order.
• Create shortcut folders – Drag one shortcut on top of another to create a folder containing both.
• Name folders – Tap a folder, then “Name Folder” to give it a custom name.
• Add new shortcuts – Tap “Edit Shortcuts” and use the “+ Add Shortcut” option.

With these tips, you can customize your shortcut list by removing, adding, reordering, and grouping shortcuts however you like.

Troubleshooting Missing Shortcuts

If you are unable to find a shortcut that should be there, here are some things to check:

• Search – Use the search bar at the top of your shortcuts list to search for the person’s name.
• Spelling – Make sure you have spelled their name correctly if searching.
• Profile status – The shortcut may have disappeared if they deactivated their Facebook account.
• Name changes – Check if they have recently changed their profile name.

If the shortcut is still missing after checking these options, try re-adding the person through their profile or via “Edit Shortcuts”.

Deleting Facebook shortcuts only takes a few taps once you access your shortcut list. Find the shortcut, press and hold, then choose “Remove”. You can easily recreate deleted shortcuts too. With some management of your shortcut list, you can customize and organize it to perfectly fit your Facebook needs.
