Welcome to the Facebook world, where guarding your privacy is as crucial as hiding your ex’s old love letters. In the world of Insta and Snap folks, it is as challenging to safeguard your Facebook account as dodging that cringe-worthy selfie your ex tagged you in two years ago. But fear not, we’ve got you simple 10 steps to enhance your Facebook privacy.
- **Use a Strong Password**: Let’s start with the basics, shall we? And for the 2024th time again, your password is the digital lock, so make it strong and unique. And no, ‘password123’, ‘techmye123’, ‘youaremyworld123’, etc. doesn’t count! Let’s do something better at least from now on. Let’s keep those hackers (most likely your ex eh?) work their ass out for the valuable chest they’re trying to unlock.
- **Turn Off Location Services**: Unless you want Mr.Meta Mark or maybe your girlfriend to know you’re at the ice cream shop, or at your ex’s place on a cozy evening, it might be a good idea to turn this off. Let’s keep our adventures under wraps, shall we?
- **Turn Off Mobile Location History**: Facebook doesn’t need to know how often you visit the coffeeshop near your ex’s place. Maybe your girlfriend can directly put a GPS tracker on you, and you’d still feel more private than having your mobile location history enabled on your mobile.
- **Tweak the ‘About’ Section**: Maybe your current girlfriend thinks you love a warm white. But your ex knows how much you’d like to see her blue, eh? 😄 So, make it a point to keep your bio casual and low-key. Just a one-line swagger intro would do fine. Let’s keep our personal info as mysterious as you can.
- **Turn Off Contact Uploads**: Maybe your ex is off your radar now, and you’re glad to have her contact discarded. But would you give it away to Zuckerberg? You can thank me later Priscilla Chan!
- **Check for Unrecognized Logins**: Maybe your ex is trying to sneak into your account for one last look at your online activity. Let’s catch them red-handed before they can snoop around! It’s like setting up security cameras to keep out unwanted guests from your digital fortress. Sorry, ex, but my online kingdom is off-limits to you now!
- **Don’t Overshare**: Remember, it’s not just about sharing your activities with your current circle—it’s about avoiding future awkward conversations with all your future girlfriends. And more importantly, they come back haunting you as memories later next year, just when you least expect it!
- **Control Who Sees Your Posts**: Your ex doesn’t get a front-row seat to see you happy or maybe roasted by your current flame on your Facebook posts. Sorry, ex, but this feed is reserved for the inner circle only!
- **Cut Down on Friend Requests**: While you can still use your ex’s Netflix account, you can’t afford to have her back on your Facebook friends list. It’s not a popularity contest. Sorry, ex, quality over past relationships, always!
- **Hide Posts in Your Timeline**: Well, some things are better hidden than deleted—especially when it comes to exes and old flames. Let’s keep those memories and moments under wraps, away from prying eyes.
