Facebook won't let me delete my post. I have had several phones and delete FB post but I just got this Galaxy s3 phone and it won't let me. I swipe to the right or left and nothing appears. I deleted my FB and loaded a new app but still can't.

I've never been able to delete posts on the default Facebook app on any android. only recently has the mobile site started supporting this. Maybe you had a modified HTC or sony version?

LOL relax of course you can.....sometimes it takes about 5 minutes for the DELETE option to appear...see my screenshot below
red arrow points to the 3 little dots...click on them and you will get the white box options where you can delete
have a great day

Just checked on my SIII, and I have the 3 dots on my Facebook posts. That is on my timeline. If I look at my posts in the newsfeed, the 3 dots aren't there. Also it may take some time to disappear from the news feed.

I just use the browser version of FB, the android app always messes up my newsfeed and throws old posts in there even if it is on newest option.

The HTC facebook app is a HTC specific one so thats probably a feature added by them. "facebook for HTC sense"
I'm constantly upgrading my rom and every time I do, it takes me back a version. Its only on the latest versions these "3 dots" appear. So i updated my rom today and forgot about the 3 dots. Just updated to latest facebook app and theyre there. As mentioned, only on time line though. And only your main post, not any of your comments. You have to go to a browser for that.

Boo.
I want them to give us back our ability to delete "our comments" on peoples posts. It was removed some time ago; use to be able to swipe right and delete.
