HI all,<\/p>\n
You may have heard that there is a breach of data security on Facebook. Here are some settings that will help to protect your data.<\/p>\n
Facebook settings you need to change:<\/p>\n
1. To know which apps and service share your data on Facebook.<\/p>\n
Settings->Apps->You will get the apps and service that are connected to your Facebook account.<\/p>\n
Remove them if you don\u2019t recognize them.<\/p>\n
2. Limit information that friends share with you:<\/p>\n
Settings->Apps->Scroll down->Apps other use->Edit->uncheck the data which you don\u2019t want to be shared<\/p>\n
3. Manage App permission: If you have installed the Facebook app on your phone<\/p>\n
Settings->App permission->Facebook app->switch off the button(Revoke permission) for contact, messages, call logs, etc. And in that way, your information will not be shared with Facebook.<\/p>\n
And also if you are using Facebook Messenger, then uninstall it. And install it again without turning on you \u201cText anyone in the phone\u201d, Don\u2019t add your number to the messenger app(You can just skip it), and don\u2019t turn on \u201cSend and receive SMS from messenger\u201d<\/p>\n
4. Limit the adds: Settings-> Ads. You can revoke permission under \u201cYour Information\u201d, \u201cAdd settings\u201d, \u201cinterest\u201d.So that your data will be safe from now.<\/p>\n
5. Make sure you never log in to Facebook in the 3rd party apps. If you do click on review and see what permission is it asking for access.<\/p>\n
6. You must have seen the adds like \u201cKnow what you will be future\u201d or \u201cwho is your spirit animal\u201d or \u201cwhich celebrity looks like you\u201d because these are the adds which take access to your data and may sell it 3rd party.<\/p>\n
