🚨 WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CHECKED WHAT FACEBOOK KNOWS ABOUT YOU?
If it’s been a while, it’s worth doing now. The more personal information sitting on your account, the more there is that could potentially be used to make scams more convincing or contribute to identity theft.
A Quick Privacy Checkup Can Help You:
👀 CONTROL WHO CAN SEE YOUR STUFF
Your posts, photos, stories, birthday, contact details and other profile information. You might be sharing more publicly than you realise.
🔐 MAKE YOUR ACCOUNT HARDER TO BREAK INTO
Check your password security, login activity and 2-factor authentication.
📱 SEE WHAT YOU'VE GIVEN FACEBOOK ACCESS TO
Check connected apps and websites and remove anything you no longer use or don't recognise.
📊 HAVE MORE SAY OVER YOUR DATA & ADS
Review what information Facebook uses to personalise the ads you see and how your activity is used across its platforms.
📱 HOW TO FIND FACEBOOK'S PRIVACY CHECKUP
1) Open the Facebook app.
2) Open the Menu or tap your profile picture.
3) Go to Settings & privacy → Settings.
4) Look for Privacy Checkup.
5) Work through each section and review the options that apply to you.
👉 You don't have to change everything — just take a few minutes to understand what's currently switched on and decide what you're comfortable with.
👉 It doesn't take long — and it's one of those jobs that's much easier to do now than after something goes wrong.
💡DevicePro Tip: A good habit is to set a reminder to check it again every 6–12 months. Digital platforms change all the time — your privacy settings should too!
