Customizing Facebook Privacy Settings and Permissions


Even though your Facebook profile can be viewed by any Facebook user, you can restrict its comments from being displayed to everyone. With some smart privacy configurations, you can specify who can view your posts, comment on your posts, post something on your Facebook timeline, view your photo albums, view your friends’ list, etc.

Since many users use their smartphones to access their Facebook accounts, here is how your Facebook privacy settings and permissions can be customized using your Android mobile phone:

    ■Turn on your Android smartphone by pressing the power button.
    ■Tap the Menu icon to go to the apps list.
