There are many videos on how to adjust Facebook privacy settings on TH-cam but this is easily the best with clear and concise instructions. It takes a while to change them all, Facebook don’t make it easy!, but it’s well worth it. Many thanks Leonie :)
you hit the nail on the head. The language used on facebook for settings is poor & convoluted. Excuse me but I suspect that this was designed "accidentally on purpose".
This vid is quite helpful. thank you.
And yet Facebook think their privacy settings are wonderful! Thankyou for your comment
Hi Poppyrred, thanks for stopping by. Some people don't yet have this enabled for them yet, no idea why. It's facial recognition, in which case you haven't been added to the data base yet. The number next to the pictures won't be seen by a stranger (even tho it looks that way), it's how many pics you have. Limit past posts to ensure all your pics and posts are hidden from strangers as per the video.
Thanks Leonie....thanks for the great tutorials !
Great tutorial, easy to follow and very informative. Thanks for sharing, great voice too.
That's brilliant! It has made me feel a lot safer using Facebook, your explanation was so clear it was wonderful. I have now subscribed and I will look forward to future updates thank you very much from a grateful Welshman.
Thankyou Louis, it's great that I can help! Lets hope that Facebook don't keep changing them!
This was really helpful, thank you!
Yes it's in the privacy settings video. You need to set your tagging preferences so that you must approve all tagging first on your timeline. However if your friend does tag you on a photo, it will go up on their timeline, they only thing you can do is to request that the tag is taken down, but going to the tag and requesting its removal.
hey thank you so much Leonie Smith
Thank you just made my day.
Hi great video and thanks for sharing all this, very useful & helpful, just need to find out now how to disable the time stamp/active now on the Facebook & messenger phone app then I will be a happy camper. :)
yes, any friends of your friends will see your posts. That's how Facebook works. They are all about sharing. The privacy settings are to prevent total unconnected strangers from seeing your updates.
great video! thanks
Hi Afans thanks for stopping by. Right now there is no way to hide your name from search in Facebook. Only from other search engines like Yahoo, Bing and Google. You can't stop friend requests on a profile but certainly limit being found by switching off the being found via your email or phone number in privacy settings/Who can look me up. preferences. If you are a public figure, a Page is a better option for you. Switch on follow on your profile and allow people to follow you instead of friend
God bless you !!!
( yes, it is an outcry of joy!)
thanks for that its really helpful
You are very welcome, I wish the settings were easier...
Thank you very much!
Welcome!
Thank You Good Miss.
thanks was very cool
You don't need to, all messaging for profiles is now enabling, if you disabled it before you should be getting messages, check your "other" tab in messages, sometimes you get some there
thnx for your information
Mohammad Delowar You are welcome
yes you have to go to each photo open it in the viewer window go to the top right side of each photo, and click on the friends icon and change to only me or a list you can't do it in a batch. You can set it to a certain list. I have a post on cleaning up your timeline for total privacy which includes the instructions see the About tab above for the link
See the Description above, there is a link to a post that gives you the steps to do this.
Thank You Leonie :-)
leonie smith , thank you alot,B4 2DAY every think of my privacy like street every one can see ,.........kno i get da point.
Thanks Vivian :)
The problem is that when your friends "like" or comment on any of your posts, Facebook is designed to share that update with their friends. So that even if you have everything set to friends only or posts to friends only if they interact with your posts, it may go out to their friends updates.
thanks you madam........good for you.......
You don't need to, it only prevents your profile being searched for in Google and Bing etc...your friends can find you by name. sometimes I've noticed if you don't have any friends in common your name is way down the list if someone is searching for you tho
very welcome
Not sure what you mean, all messages are private between you and the messenger. All profiles have a message tab it is the default settings. For pages the message tab is opt in, in pages settings
Thanks For This Video!!!
you are welcome!
Leonie Smith
You are welcome!
Leonie, love your video about fb information...could you direct me to the one that talks about how to block and keep everything on your time line private if someone looks me up...including the pictures etc. Thank you for taking the time to teach all of us especially me :)
If you click on the number it will show you all your pics, if you click on the tab though it shouldn't. Your timeline in "View As" shows you what is visible to a stranger
hello, i watched your video on privacy setting and would like to know how you managed complete privacy from strangers? how can you make you profile page show nothing to people you dont know?
You can't hide your profile from Facebook Search engines. If you select the setting to hide your profile from google bing and yahoo, it means when someone googles or searches for your name your Facebook profile won't come up in search results. You can't stop receiving friend requests, but you can certainly ignore the friend requests.
Thanks :)
Hi Leonie, Thanks for the video on advanced privacy settings for FB. I have a quick question on my FB setting. Recently, I have noticed that "Find Friends" option which was there on top of the FB page. But now it is missing. How do I reinstate it?
I'd say thats just Facebook just moving options around. They try out different things sometimes. I haven't noticed it missing, and don't think it's to do with any particular setting.
Leonie Smith I found out.. the "Find Friends" option my hidden under drop down list where we accept friend request. Thank you....
Go to your Photos and set each to friends only or Only Me. You have to do them one by one. Check your Activity Log from your profile to check your tags, you can ask for them to be removed if you need to do that. Just click on the tag link.
XtreamerTV when you accept a friend request on Facebook you need to add the friend to the Acquaintance List. Just hover your mouse over the name of the friend and go to settings to add them to Acquaintance. Then you can filter your posts so that some posts go to friends, and others can go to Friends except Acquaintances.
Hi Leonie! Do I undertand correctly that now you can not hide profile pics anymore from public? Also if this is the case, does it mean to have it set as FRIENDS ONLY I need to move them one by one to a different album? thank you
No I'm afraid not. This can be a huge issue for Pages where companies want to turn comments off, if they have been attacked. Facebook is all about conversations though not broadcasting, so doubt it will ever change. You can of course remove and report comments and profiles that post comments that are offensive. Just hover your cursor over the top right of any comment you want to remove/report and select the options from the downward arrow menu.
post them publicly, you can also allow subscribers or followers in settings
Use the "Limit past posts" setting I outline in the video through privacy settings, the only photos you will still see are cover pictures and profile picture, delete those out of your cover picture and profile picture album.
Set your message settings to strict Filtering. You will then get messages in your "other" account. You cannot stop people from messaging you. Facebook allow anyone to message you. Go to Privacy Settings/Who can contact you/Set to Strict Filtering.
Michael see the description to this video above, there is a link there to a post on how to hide all your personal info friends. I can't post the link in a comment, TH-cam won't let me :) That link should help you
You are welcome
really great review Leonie, but how do I get it to look like yours ? I dont want anyone to see my pictures ,friends nothing about me if I am not friends with them , ??? please please tell me how this is done , did you make a tutorial about that ??
Yes you need to go to your activity log, and find it there and delete it. You can also go to the photo, and hover your mouse over the top right corner of your comment you should see the edit pencil show up you can delete the comment there
When you post you can set it to public then, it will stay public until you change it back to friends or some other equation
You might like to set up a Page rather than a profile, Pages are fully public. If you have a Profile that is set up for an under 18yr old you won't have the public option. Minor accounts are protected.
Is it a profile pic? Pictures you upload can be set for only me, but if not, they may not show up in friends timelines if they haven't interacted with your for a while.
I've seen a few people reporting that. May not be rolled out to you yet, but keep an eye on it.
Sorry Sam, I can't help further than the instructions I have given and the link I have pointed to in the description of this post. You need to set all your information to me only, and you can't hide your name from non friends they can search for you on Facebook. Facebook don't allow hiding your name
thanx alot leonie! :)
Very welcome! :)
I dont want anybody to send me requests and also set my friends to private... thanx =]
nadia faith you will probably still get requests but, you can of course ignore them. Setting friends to private is so important particularly if some of our Friends are family members. Thankyou for your feedback :)
Im looking at your videos they are great i think they can help thnx (:
No you can't hide the message button, Facebook used to have a setting so that only friends can contact us via messaging but they changed that this year. Now any messages sent to you by non friends will end up in the "other" tab of your messages page. You can't have private cover pics or profile pics they are set to public by default. You could have a profile pic of another object or cartoon though..
OK I will check it out. So basically if I individually remove each photo, I can't have a private album with all my photo's. I understand that I will still be tagged and it will still be on facebook. But those photo's are not viewable personally as as personal photo album like it used to be.. correct?
thak u so much
You can put your account into suspension. This means you won't be able to update it until you enable the account again by logging in again. You can set all your updates to only me also, but this only changes your future updates, you would have to go and change all past updates to Only Me, or delete them.
Make sure that you set it to friends or public depending on who you want to comment on the photo.
Hi Ramon, TH-cam doesn't allow links in comments. If you go up to my About under the video the description and click more you can see the link there. or go to my cyber safety lady website and search for clean up your Facebook Timeline. You can have a personal photo album if you open each photo and edit it. Follow the step by step on my blog. You can also review tags and request them removed from your Timeline Review. Hope you find the post helpful
Hi Leonie, in the "how can I manage tags people add and tagging suggestions" there are three extra questions and the last one is(and this is exactly what i see); "Who sees tag suggestions when photos that look like you are uploaded(this is not yet available to you)? Unavailable." Why is it not available to me? Also when I look at View as there is a photo section and then beside photo 1,059. Does this mean that everyone can see the pictures I have been tagged in???!! Thank you!
Yes go to profile then "More" on your tabs and then your Likes section if you have it enabled, and hide it. I'll do a post on hiding sections soon. You can hide all your likes and sections if you also go to "About" then the far right of it you can see an edit symbol (the pencil) click to edit sections untick all the ones you want to hide. Only Friends and Photos and About cannot be hidden there, for those you have to do in the other about section.
hi leonie just want to ask if its possible to hide your likes and comments not just only on the fan pages but all stuff in facebook?
Leonie how are you? I have a question. In my facebook I dont have the friends except acquaintances option in the timeline and Tagging. I followed your video correctly. Could you please let me know what I might have checked or is this facebooks problem? thanks
Hi Will, can you be more specific, for which setting exactly? some of the settings in Timeline and Tagging only offer "Friends" or "Only Me". Not all settings in Facebook have the same options.
Sami, as I said to Suhail, you can't do that now. Facebook used to make that an option that only friends could message you but now anyone can. I know it's annoying. They hide the non friend messages in the "Other" section of the messages panel.
If the account you set up has no other friends, and you set your existing friends list to only me, then when any of your friends look at your profile they only see the friends you have in common.
You need to set them all to friends only do it in the edit option
Welcome :)
Hi Suhail, unfortunately Facebook changed the messaging around 3 months ago. You used to be able to select "only be messaged by friends", but now they have disabled that option. When strangers message you it now goes into the Other folder in messages, it's kind of hidden...but I agree it's really annoying, because the messages you get are really only spam usually! I wish they would reverse it
hey I change my setting as you said but still my profile is not hidden pls advise
Hi Leonie. Thank you for dispelling the myths around FB privacy. I have a quandary for you. I am an admin on a fan page, and wondering if you know a way to make comments private, so only the individual and the admin can view it? My page is a movie quiz, so I need to make it so people don't get influenced by others' answers. Thanks in advance. Adam
No you can't hide comments. Messaging you would be the only way, and then you would get the messages in your "other" message tab.
Hmm. Pity. I suppose I'll have to come up with a better strategy for people answering the questions. Thanks for getting back to me
thankx 4 ur upload can u show me how do i can hide my friends and mutual friend
Arman you can only prevent someone from searching for you on Google.Bing and Yahoo not on Facebook. Anyone can search for your name on Facebook.
I can only imagine that the photo didn't upload properly or was taken down by Facebook is it in your Albums still?
you are welcome :)
You can't Facebook no longer have that function. You can set the filter to strict in the privacy settings for message settings so that any spammy messages or messages from non strangers go into the "other" tab so you won't be notified of receiving them. It's good to check that tab from time to time to make sure you haven't missed any important ones. Privacy/Who Can Contact Me/Strict Filtering
I do try to reply to all comments but Google Comments are really strange now, and some comments do not display a reply link.
can i hide comments activity on ticker?
You can hide the ticker only, I don't think you can hide comments.
+Leonie Smith (The Cyber Safety Lady) i cann
ot go to my Advanced Privacy Settings i cannot even lock my facebook cuse the Advanced Privacy Settings its hidden i dont know can u help me out
How do I get it so that the public cannot view my mobile uploads or my profile pictures. I just has a mechanical wheel next to some albums such as (mobile, timeline) but doesn't let me get further than that. Even just deleting the album seems a tough ask for Facebook these days!
You can hide your mobile uploads if you follow the video. You do need to open your albums and set each photo to friends only or use the Limit past post option as per the video.
hi did u get to do the other video how u make ur fb private to a stranger thta they cant see picture or anything at all
Hi Again,
Step 4 on your website about the photo's don't work anymore. Step 4 is from April 2013. The settings are a bit different today. There is only the option allowed on timeline and hidden from timeline. 2 options only. :(. Let me know if there is any alternative. Thanks Leonie!
I know I can with old my living location on my profile page but what about private messages? Can I change it so my location does not appear when I'm private messaging someone?? X
Turn off location services for Facebook on your device, in privacy settings.
do you know how to prevent everybody from finding my facebook profile on search (friends only)and only by url? a couple of people i know and am not friends with have that and i thought i did until i made a new account but it's not working anymore for me. i have unchecked the google checkbox around the 5 minute mark of this video and set the thing to Friends, still no luck, please help
Hiding from Facebook search is no longer possible. The video above shows you how to hide from Google Bing and Yahoo search only. Anyone can find you by putting the name you are known by on Facebook in the Facebook search engine. You used to be able to hide your name but Facebook disabled that this year.
if u click close friends only on privacy setting that means that only your close friends can see it?
You need to select "close friends" on the drop down when you post and yes. They shouldn't be able to share it.
Set everything in your info to "Only Me" or "Friends Only" including your friends list
ty Leonie for getting back to me i dont know which link it is. i clicked them all it didnt tell me how to block it like yours.
Hi Yasir, you can't hide comments. Your comments will be seen according to what the owner of the post has as privacy settings. You also cannot hide mutual friends. The only thing you can do is remove comments
I've made a mistake somewhere or I went overboard, now none my friends and close friends can post on my timeline or share anything from it at all.
I'm tried starting from scratch, going full public to partial private bit by bit and to no avail.
I've reviewed my settings, but have become confused on how to fix it.
Hard for me to help without a screen shot....Set all to Friends rather than Only me and see what happens.
I spent a good 1.5 hours from compleately public to mostly private and it worked with a lot of patience. Thanks anyway.
can we hide message button for unknown people? can we edit privacy setting of profile picture and cover picture?
Excuse me, I am simply not finding what I need here.
Ms. Smith, do you remember where you showed us the "View As" option? I want to be able to make my profile when viewed by [anyone not a friend] like this: The exact same way as yours, but without my profile picture being visible either. So basically the exact same way yours is, but I just don't want my profile picture seen. Can you please help me?
Hi Froggie, I can't put links in comments the link is in the description under the video,
can't hide them but you can delete old one's go to your activity log and go through and delete all your old comments and likes...its a huge job! but I really think people need to archive their old stuff every few months..
I don't want that unknown people send me messages. Can u plz tell me how can I got this settings? "sen me massages (public,friends,friends of friends,only me)"this is much better than basic & strict filtering.basic & Strict Filtering are not working on this situation. please help.
hi leonie.can you help me how to set my account that before a friend can tag one of my pictures fb will have to send me notification first if i will allow him to tag it or not.my friends fb was set that way.i went through her album and got one of her photos which was not tagged to me at all.i just picked one of hersw randomly and tagged it to one of my friends.she said she was notified that i want to tag her pics and she didint allow it..another friend tried the same thing but this time she took
Any friends can "like" a post, as long as they see it.
