How To Get Rid Of Facebook Graph Search

Share this article

Facebook Graph Search LogoEver since Facebook launched Graph Search, many of us were curious to get our hands on it. This is why I wrote a small tutorial on how to get Facebook graph search. But it seems that Facebook Graph Search is not that great and to an extent useless. Moreover, when you use the graph search, it removes all the home icon, notification, friend request, messages etc on the right side of the screen. Most of us are used to of refreshing the news feed by clicking on the home button. But with the new design, you might end up clicking on the search area. Quite a frustration.

I present you a neat little trick to disable Facebook Graph Search for now. This trick will work till the date Facebook forces users to use graph search similar to what it did with timeline.

How to remove Facebook Graph Search:

Step 1:

Go to your account settings:

Facebook-Account-Settings

Step 2:

If you are using Facebook graph search now, it means that your Facebook language is English US. To get rid of graph search, change the language to English UK.

Facebook-Change-Language

That’s it. When you go back to your home screen, you will see everything back to normal. Question, suggestions?? Feel free to drop a comment.
