Once you create your Facebook account, you are able to keep tabs on ex-lovers, communicate with your best friend, and share your photos. Nearly three-quarters of a billion Facebook users could be potential customers if you run a business online. According to a Pew Research Center survey, 75 percent of women use Facebook, compared to 63 percent of men.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, are you curious why many people are so enamored with Facebook? In rural areas of the United States, 66% of the adult population uses Facebook because it is easy to access and simple to use. It is fair to say that once we get the hang of this social media platform, we should also know how to use Facebook features such as Save for Later Post, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook Touch<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and more. That is why there is a list of Facebook settings that every user should be aware of.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6628a38544b4f\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6628a38544b4f\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/news969.com\/6-facebook-settings-that-you-should-know\/#1Hide_Personal_Information\" title=\"1.Hide Personal Information\">1.Hide Personal Information<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/news969.com\/6-facebook-settings-that-you-should-know\/#2Change_Facebook_Searchability\" title=\"2.Change Facebook Searchability\">2.Change Facebook Searchability<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/news969.com\/6-facebook-settings-that-you-should-know\/#3Limit_Facebook_Ad_Tracking\" title=\"3.Limit Facebook Ad Tracking\">3.Limit Facebook Ad Tracking<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/news969.com\/6-facebook-settings-that-you-should-know\/#4Check_Your_Public_Profile\" title=\"4.Check Your Public Profile\">4.Check Your Public Profile<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/news969.com\/6-facebook-settings-that-you-should-know\/#5Turn_Off_Facebook_Location_History\" title=\"5.Turn Off Facebook Location History\">5.Turn Off Facebook Location History<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/news969.com\/6-facebook-settings-that-you-should-know\/#_6Remove_a_Tag\" title=\"\u00a06.Remove a Tag\">\u00a06.Remove a Tag<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/news969.com\/6-facebook-settings-that-you-should-know\/#Conclusion\" title=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1Hide_Personal_Information\"><\/span><b>1.Hide Personal Information<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interacting with people online can be exciting, but it is crucial to keep your personal information private. And here are the settings you should use if you want to hide your personal information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, Facebook has collected a significant amount of personal information about you, such as your contact information. You may control who sees what information is on your profile by going to the &#8220;About&#8221; section and selecting &#8220;Edit&#8221; for each part. It is possible to hide your profile information by changing your privacy settings from Friends to Only Me. We must admit that we sometimes want to flaunt the good things happening in our lives, but privacy is something you hold dearly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2Change_Facebook_Searchability\"><\/span><b>2.Change Facebook Searchability<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several occasions when we want to be searchable on the internet. An example of this is when you want potential employers to see your profile on your LinkedIn page. But being famous on Facebook is a different narrative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a stranger is looking for you, you have the right to turn them down or prevent them from searching your profile. Go to Settings &amp; Privacy and select How People Can Find You on Facebook to adjust your searchability. After that, you can do whatever you want with your profile&#8217;s searchability.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3Limit_Facebook_Ad_Tracking\"><\/span><b>3.Limit Facebook Ad Tracking<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This setting allows you to reduce the ads that can pop up on your timelines, or when you are watching Facebook videos.\u00a0 Having so much information about you that they can use to target you with ads is why Facebook is so lucrative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit Settings &amp; Privacy, Privacy Checkup, and Ad Preferences for further control over your Facebook advertising. Your employer, job title, education, and other personal data will be less prominent in any ads. If you enjoy targeted advertisements, you can choose to keep these settings on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4Check_Your_Public_Profile\"><\/span><b>4.Check Your Public Profile<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a simple method to examine what your profile looks like to someone who is not in your circle of Facebook friends. You can do this by going to your Profile page, clicking the menu button next to Activity Log, and selecting View As. It is easy to filter posts and information that you do not want others to see by going to Settings and then Edit Post Privacy. In addition, you may use this feature to check what a specific Facebook friend sees on your profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5Turn_Off_Facebook_Location_History\"><\/span><b>5.Turn Off Facebook Location History<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A turned-on Facebook location is sometimes a good idea to use to get advertisements that are more relevant and targeted to your interests and needs. But you may be unaware of precisely how much location data Facebook has on you if you use the mobile app.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, it is frightening to realize that Facebook can pinpoint your precise location. Turn off this feature by going to Settings &amp; Privacy, then Settings, Location, and unchecking the option. Also trying to uninstall and reinstall the application may resolve the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_6Remove_a_Tag\"><\/span><b>\u00a06.Remove a Tag<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being on Facebook for a while can have pros and cons. One con can be a friend tagging you to an embarrassing photo. Or worse, you can get tagged on inappropriate content. You do not want to risk having a messy profile, especially when your employer is doing background checks. That is why Social media etiquette is crucial for everyone to follow. Fortunately, Facebook has the remove tag feature so you can remove all the unnecessary posts on your profile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is possible to review every tag before it appears on your or anybody else&#8217;s timeline in Settings, under Timeline and Tagging. Select the &#8220;Remove Tag&#8221; option in the post settings to remove a tag from a specific post. If you want a post deleted from the site, you can mark it as objectionable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><b>Conclusion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since Facebook is a popular social media platform nowadays, you have a huge responsibility to be careful when using it.
