Facebook Privacy guide: Recently have been receiving report of constant Facebook account hack so in today’s article we’ll put you through several ways to guide your Facebook account.
Secure your Facebook Account
Follow the guide listed below to secure your account and yourself on Facebook.
Consider what you post
This is a very serious one to consider because not everyone who views your profile is your friend, and not all can be trusted with your most intimate personal details e.g. airport check-in posts. People might well be jealous that you’re off to soak up the sun for a week, but we won’t be jealous when you return to find your home ransacked and your irreplaceable personal belongings gone.
Share posts privately
Set restrictions on who can view your posts. To do this, open Facebook and click on the downward triangle at the top right corner of the page and choose Settings. Under the privacy tab you’ll find an option for who can see your future posts. Click Edit and choose Friends, or choose More Options to select a custom list
Secure old Facebook posts
Sharing posts privately takes care of future posts, but what about those you posted before you became concerned about Facebook privacy? Well still from Settings, Privacy, Who can see my stuff is an option to ‘Limit the audience for posts you’ve shared with friends of friends or public?’ Set this to ‘Limit Old Posts’.
Secure posts you're tagged in
Since Facebook is a social network, it means it’s not all about what you do but also what your friends do. And they can tag you in all sorts of stuff that will be visible to all on your profile and in their News feed but that’s if you let them. To prevent this, Open Settings, Timeline and Tagging and carefully check each option here. You can control who can post on your timeline, who can see posts you’ve been tagged in and even set Facebook to gain your approval before the tag is applied.
Hide your phone number
We know Facebook compulsorily request or phone numbers and if you don’t necessarily want that information to be visible to all who view your profile. Open the drop-down for Who can look you up using the phone number you provided under Settings Privacy, Who can look me up. You can do the same for your email address above, and below you can specify whether your Facebook profile should be listed by search engines such as Google.
And above all things make sure to block annoying and strange users. I hope this article was helpful!
