What are the Best Facebook Privacy Settings? How to stay secure?

Facebook privacy settings are no less than a maze due to the many options available. These options are available in several places (to confuse you). For example, you can set the visibility of your Facebook post only to your friends, from the drop-down menu below the post, from the timeline, or by using the Facebook privacy settings option. It’s hard to understand Facebook’s intentions, because there are things we don’t even know. For example, if you are tagged in an image, your friends can also see the image. This post attempts to help you with the best Facebook privacy settings.

Using the activity log to check the confidentiality of your Facebook posts

Before changing the privacy settings for your messages, we’ll see what you’ve shared and who can see it. The Facebook activity log is the best place to see everything you’ve done on Facebook. It also offers the possibility to modify, delete or not look like things so that people only see what you show them.

You can access the Facebook activity log from:

1. Your Facebook profile page
2. Facebook settings page
3. In the drop-down menu that appears when you click on this triangle upwards to the right and
4. Some other Facebook locations

The activity log is the same log file, no matter where you access it. The log shows everything you’ve done on Facebook. You should spend some time reviewing the messages (including comments) you have posted and their privacy settings.

The activity log allows you to review many other things so you can delete or hide posts / images / videos from your Facebook timeline. You can use filters to make your job easier.

Right below the activity log, there are many filters that you can use to filter posts, comments, likes, reactions, and the like. You can also see what all the messages mark you. You can delete the tag if you are not interested in the post where you are tagged. If you want, you can remove the tags so that your friends and friends cannot see the post on your Timeline.

The only problem with revising the activity log is that you have to manually delete the unwanted items one by one if you do it using Facebook. There is a Google Chrome extension to mass delete Facebook posts to speed things up.

Best Facebook Privacy Settings

This option in Facebook allows you to configure and configure your privacy for future messages. It is available under Facebook Settings. To open it, click on the inverted triangle icon in the upper right corner of the Facebook window. In the drop-down menu that appears, click Settings.

In the Facebook settings window, click Privacy in the left pane. The right pane will offer options for Facebook privacy.

The first option concerns Your activity. It allows you to choose the target audience for all your future articles. Click on Edit and select the audience. By default, it is set to public, but you can modify it by clicking on the button.

To guarantee better privacy on Facebook, click on the button and select Customs. In the dialog box that appears, type friends in the first text box. Remove the check mark from the checkbox that says: “Tagged friendsIn this way, you will prevent Facebook algorithms from displaying your post to Facebook friends (FB) of your FB friends.

the Personalized confidentiality The dialog also contains an option to prevent certain people from seeing your message. In the text box next to “Do not share with“, Enter the names of your friends with whom you don’t want to share the post. Just start typing your friend’s name and all associated names will appear in a drop-down menu. When you’re done selecting people want to hide your message, click on “Save changes“. The dialog box closes and you return to the page saying Privacy settings and tools.

Please note that if you mark a restricted friend in an article whose confidentiality is set to personalized, the marked friend can always see it. The other option is the activity log which we discussed above. You can see what all of your information is shared. To make changes to the activity log, see the section above.

There is another option under Privacy settings and tools. You can use it to limit the visibility of your old messages only to your friends. Note that in this case too, the message will be visible to the people who are marked in the message, even if they are not your friends.

Timeline and tagging options for Facebook privacy

In the left pane of the window, click Timeline and markup to see and dictate who can all see your posts. There are options such as “Who can see what others are posting on your timeline”. You can change the audience using this option. I would choose Customs And put friends as an option to make sure no one else sees it.

The next option to consider is “Review“The options here are:

1. Examine the posts where you are tagged. This message will be visible on your FB timeline if you set it to SURE. I would turn SURE the option for me to know who all tag me on Facebook
2. Review the tags people add to your posts. This option is to limit the visibility of posts by allowing you to delete the tag. Often when you post something good, your friends mark their friends in the comment boxes so they can share it with them. Keep the option of SURE

Then click on stories in the left pane to see two options

1. Let people share your public posts with their own stories. You may or may not want people to share your messages. You can To allow or not to allow This behavior”
2. Let people share your stories if you mention or tag them. Selection To allow would post the post in different places on Facebook. I recommend “Not to allow“.

The above explains the best Facebook privacy settings I could look for on the social networking site. If you think I missed something, please comment.
