Today we are going to teach you how to improve the privacy of your Facebook account . A function that few users perform and therefore expose their data to whoever they want.

Facebook is that social network, which today is plummeting. And we say that it plummets, because there are many that offer better services than it. It is also receiving many accusations from users, in which it can be clearly seen how Facebook shares our data without the permission of said users.

That is why and to prevent this from happening, we are going to explain how you can improve the privacy of your Facebook account.

HOW TO IMPROVE THE PRIVACY OF YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT

The first thing we must do is go to the Facebook settings. To do this, click on the icon of the three bars that appears at the bottom right.

Once inside, we scroll to the end of this menu and click on "Settings" . In this menu that now appears, click on "Account settings" .

Access account settings

We will see that several options appear. Among all these options, we must choose the tab with the name “Check some important options” .

Click on the first tab that appears in the menu

A welcome menu will appear, in which we must click on «Next» . We will have to configure our information as we want, as well as who we want to see our publications.

When we have it, we press next again and we will go to the last screen. Here we will see all the applications to which we have given permission. We can leave it as it is or we can delete the ones we no longer want.

Delete apps we don't want

So far everything related to our privacy and everything we want to share. But everything does not end here and it is that as we have verified above, there are applications that share a lot of our data. That is why we are going to show you how to further privatize our data.

HOW TO CONTROL THE APPS THAT HAVE ACCESS TO OUR ACCOUNT

To do this, we go once again to the configuration section. And click, again, on the tab "Account settings" . In this case, we are going to click on the “Applications” tab,that appears below.

We are already in the information configuration menu with the apps. Therefore, the first section to configure is the applications to which we have given permission. Click on the tab "Session started with Facebook".

View apps we're signed in to

By clicking here, we will see all the applications to which we have given permission. We will have to press one by one and modify the information that we want to share with said app.

Last and most important, since many were unaware of this, it is time to configure the information that is shared with our friends' apps. This means that our friends have installed apps that are collecting our information.

To configure this last point, click on the tab “Applications used by other people” .

Here we must select or remove all those points that we do not want to share with anyone.
