The Facebook sidebar’s position depends on the space on your display, so it will only surface if there is sufficient space. It may also be invisible because you could have accidentally removed the panel. Here is how to get back your Facebook left sidebar if you can’t see it on your Android screen.
Steps To Get back Facebook Left Sidebar
- Launch your Facebook on your Android or Desktop
- On the page that’ll appear on your Android device, tap on the gear icon (Settings) on the upper right section of your display.
If you’re using a desktop, click on your screen’s profile icon at the top.
- Hit on Settings, and under General, tap on Site Customization.
- Select Edit HTML below the Left Sidebar title and enter a dimension for the bar (in pixels). All other settings should stay as they are. Tap on the Save Changes button. Your sidebar is now visible on the left side of your Facebook page.
