Facebook Privacy Update –How to Manage your Settings


Facebook Privacy Update
My Facebook page is private I play around with Facebook Privacy Settings to make sure that the settings are working properly. Before the update I test the privacy setting by creating a dummy account. The account is to check if the setting really works. I noticed some error on it. The dummy account is added to a custom list. The list will not show my status post, uploads and update but still you can see it on the ticker. A ticker is windows that will show your friends' activity.

A recent update on Facebook Privacy Settings and it
is visible on your toolbar. Here are some information on How to Manage your Settings.

Who can see my Stuff?
Who can see your future post? - If you have already set some list on your account you don’t need to change this. Custom mean that you set specific list to show and hide your post. 

Who can see my look you up?
Who can look you up using the email address or phone number you provided? – Setting this to everyone means that if someone look for your name or number your profile will show up. Make the setting to friend you don’t want other people to bother you.
Who can look up your timeline by name? – Just like the phone and email look up setting this to friend is the best option to protect your privacy.
Do you want other search engine to link your timeline? – Facebook is a search engine everybody has a profile. This option is best for Internet marketers or business pages because if someone search you on Google your Facebook page will show up.

Managing your setting and knowing the basic information about privacy help you become more aware of what will you post. Taking control of the page means being a responsible netizens.
