Ever noticed that one post keeps showing up at the top of your Facebook Business Page? That’s your featured or pinned post. But what if it’s outdated or worse, irrelevant now? Don’t worry. You’re just a few clicks away from fixing it.
Whether you’re a page admin, social media manager, or a business owner doing it all yourself this guide walks you through how to remove a featured post on Facebook Business Page using both desktop and mobile. We’ll also cover how to unpin, edit, or replace a featured post so your page always looks fresh and on-brand.
What Is a Featured Post on a Facebook Business Page?
A featured post is often referred to as a pinned post a single post that stays at the top of your page timeline. Businesses use this to highlight promotions, announcements, events, or top content.
But Facebook doesn’t actually use the term “featured” anymore as an official setting. It’s now all about “pinning” a post.
So when people ask:
How do I remove featured on my Facebook page?
How do I unpin a featured post on Facebook?
They’re really asking: “How do I remove a pinned post?”
How to Remove a Featured (Pinned) Post on Facebook [Mobile]
Here’s how to do it from your Facebook mobile app:
Open the Facebook app and go to your Business Page.
Scroll to the top of the timeline where the pinned post appears.
Tap the three dots (•••) in the top-right corner of that post.
Select “Unpin from top of page.”
✅ Done! The post will no longer be featured.
If you don’t see the “Unpin” option, it means the post isn’t pinned it’s just appearing naturally due to engagement or recency.
