MAKE SURE ONLY YOUR FRIENDS CAN SEE YOUR TIMELINE POSTS You don’t want strangers checking you out on Facebook (presumably) so make sure you limit who can view your Facebook timeline. While the key elements of your profile (name, picture, cover photo, etc.) are viewable by everyone, many other aspects of your timeline can be blocked from prying eyes.computer world Global Technology News
First, make sure all your future posts are locked down. Click on the padlock icon on the top toolbar (on the right hand side), then click ‘Who can see my stuff?’. Under ‘Who can see my future posts’, choose from: Public (which obviously means everyone) Friends Only me Custom (which allows you to limit some of your friends from seeing your posts) Pick what’s best for you, but make sure ‘Public’ isn’t selected. computer world
Whatever you choose will then become the default every time you post an update (though you still have the option of selectively changing this for each individual update you post in the future). AS shown in #pic 1 computer world
