All Facebook profile pages have a similar layout, for a uniform look and feel. However, within this framework, you can manage and control the sections that appear on your profile page. You can opt to include sections for Videos, Places, Music, Films, TV Programmes, Books, Apps and Games, Likes, Groups, Fitness, Notes, Sports, Events, and other topics. You can even arrange them manually so that they will appear in the order you wish to see them. You can only manage these sections on Facebook’s website, but whatever you hide will also be hidden on the Facebook app.
