Restore Missing Facebook Share Button: Step-by-Step Guide

Is your Facebook share button not showing up? I’ll guide you through the process of restoring it quickly and easily.

The primary cause of this issue often stems from your privacy settings. Below, I’ll explain how to resolve this!

How to Restore the Missing Facebook Share Button

I’ve outlined the steps to reinstate the share button for both the Desktop and mobile versions of Facebook.

On Desktop

Follow these instructions:

1. Open your preferred web browser and log into Facebook. Click the drop-down arrow next to your profile picture in the upper right corner, then select Settings & privacy.

1. Click on Settings.

1. On the left panel, scroll down and select Posts under Audience and Visibility.

1. Change who can see your future posts to Public.

Have a friend check your posts, and they should see the share button available.

On Mobile

Follow these steps to fix the issue:

1. Open your Facebook app and tap the profile icon located in the bottom right corner.

1. Click the setting gear icon in the top right corner.

1. Scroll down and tap Posts under Audience and Visibility.

1. Tap on Who can see your future posts and choose Public.

Your share button should now be visible on your posts.

The absence of the Facebook share button usually results from privacy settings that restrict post visibility. By adjusting your audience setting to “Public,” you allow others to share your content. I’ve provided steps for both desktop and mobile platforms.
