If you’re looking to keep your Facebook account private, it’s essential to take steps to protect your personal information from being accessed by unauthorized individuals. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to ensure that your Facebook profile is entirely private when using your iPhone.
First, open the Facebook app on your iPhone and tap on the menu button at the bottom right of your screen. Then tap on the gear icon at the top right, and you’ll see a list of options under the “Account” tab. Tap on “Privacy Checkup,” and you’ll be taken through a series of steps to set your privacy preferences.
One of the first things you’ll want to do is change the settings under “Who Can See What You Share.” Tap on this option, and you’ll see a list of settings. Change each of these to “Only Me” to ensure that your posts and updates are not visible to anyone but yourself.
Next, tap on “Future Posts” and select “Only Me” to ensure that all future posts you make are private. You can also limit past posts by tapping on “Limit” and selecting the posts you want to restrict.
Under “How People Can Find You on Facebook,” you’ll want to change who can send you friend requests to “Everyone” or “Friends of Friends.” You can also set your phone number and email address to “Only Me” to keep them private.
Finally, under “Audience and Visibility,” you can limit the visibility of your profile by going into “Active Status” and turning off the “Show When You’re Active” setting. You can also change the settings under “Profile and Tagging” to “Only Me” to prevent others from tagging you in posts or photos.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your Facebook account is entirely private when using your iPhone. Take control over your personal information and keep it safe from unauthorized access.
