As much as you would want to stay connected to your Facebook friends, there are times when Facebook itself becomes a nuisance that can really annoy you and wish you never signed up in the first place.
In this regard, here are the top 5 tips for Facebook Messenger you should know.
Limit Who Views Your Posts
There is that particular friend you want to block out of your comments, status updates and photo tags. It may be your mum that you do not want her to see you in a compromising position or doing drugs with your gang of friends. It can even be your boss that you want to pretend you are sick so that you are granted leave to go on “holiday” on Facebook. Whoever it is you do not wish them to see your post just follow the instructions below and you will successfully hide the post from them.
Write your post or upload an image as you normally do for the posts you intend for the public. Before you hit the “Post” button, click the “Friends” drop-down menu and choose “More Options”. At this point select the people you want to see your post and leave the rest from viewing it. After that post your update and rest assured that the people you left out will never know what you posted, because they’re cut out.
Keep Your Facebook Profile Private
Facebook is awash with strangers you have never seen before and probably will never meet in your entire lifetime. Do not trust them too much. They can mine data from your profile photo and commit a crime in your name. Some can use your photos to impersonate you. Others fake that the new account they created under your name is the official one that you use.
Go to the “Settings” and choose “Privacy” and view all the options listed below it. You can control who all can see your posts, items that you share, your tags and the persons who can send you friend requests. This effectively regulates the number of unwanted comments and requests which sometimes you wonder what to do with.
Block an Ex
Sometimes you go through nightmarish breakups that you can resolve never to take your partner back. Deal them a devastating blow by showing up to their profile page and hit the “Unfriend” button under the “Friends” drop-down menu. This, however, is not a death blow because if you have mutual friends with an ex-boy/girlfriend they will still be able to see your comments, likes and shares via your mutual friends. To completely get rid of an ex-friend, block them.
You may be worried that someone is on Facebook and you do not want them to find you or see your photo. Search them and block them before they start viewing your content.
To block a friend on Facebook just go to the “Settings” and select the “Block” button. While at it, enter the name of the person you want to block. You can block a person even if they are not your Facebook friends. So search anybody you feel insecure about and block them.
Deny Apps Permission to Post on your Behalf
Many gaming apps insist on posting on your behalf when you play and win the game or post the highest scores. Your boss will definitely be mad with you if s/he discovers you are playing games when you are supposed to be working simply because the games app gave you away. But you can deny the app the right to post on your behalf.
Go to the “Settings” icon and select the “Apps”. Yank out the offending app from the list and select the “Edit” button that will reveal an option for you to set the “Visibility” of the app and tick “Only me”. It will post on your timeline but exclusively to you and not anybody else.
Keep Your Mum off Facebook
Mums are overly protective of their children and wonder and imagine what their sons and daughters are up to on Facebook. She wants to peep at your photos and comments and other items you share. But if your mum is on Facebook and you would want to send her your photos then you can do it offline.
Just open an album and hit the “Settings” icon. Select an option to get a link. Copy and paste the photos to the photo album link or just press the “Send in message” icon. Copy the link and open an email account where your mother will access them rather than receiving them directly from your timeline. Of course censor the inappropriate photos you would wish her not to see.
