How to
keep your Facebook privacy and enjoy without making troubles to anyone
As we all know there is lot of applications on fb. Different
applications are made of different purposes some are photo tagging, some are
gaming and some applications are quizzes and so on.. But now this in becoming a
huge problem because on fb there are some applications they made of a good purpose
in outside like photo tagging or something but inside it does a totally fake
activity. The best thing is not to allow any of these applications but for some
reasons we have to allow some applications. In that case we have to look what kind
of permissions they asking from us so we have to think twice
Especially girls are mostly using picture tagging
applications. Actually it is a fun thing but its better if u removes these
applications after using it. For an example everyone know there was a something
called virus on fb it tags people to *orn videos and it posts through many
people’s names. All these are applications. Because in outside those
applications are good and in provides something useful like Photo tagging so we
are allowing permission to these applications but after giving them all the
permissions they started to do what they really wanted. All applications are
not fake ones. But we have to know there are fake applications too. So we have
to be careful and think twice when giving them permission.
How to manage our applications on FB
We can see all the applications that we have given
permission.
·
- Click the down arrow key in the up right corner
- · Click account Settings
- · Click Apps in the left option list
There you will see all the applications that you have giving
permission to access your Facebook data.
You can change the permissions from using the Edit button and
also you can remove unwanted applications by clicking Close (x) bottom.
Better to remove all the unknown applications
Change Privacy Settings
By changing privacy settings you can give permissions for tagging.
So no one can tag u into anything until you approve them.
- · Click the down arrow key in the up right corner
- · Click Privacy Settings

Change Security Settings
- · Click the down arrow key in the up right corner
- · Click Account Settings
- · Click Security
When you are keeping the security of you Facebook account Security
question is very important. And also make sure to enable source browsing
all the time.
Login Notification is also very important because when we are
login to fb from a new device (which is not in recognized device list) its
sends us a SMS message to the mobile phone. You don’t have to keep sending massages
to fb and be active by sending sms to fb. Anyway it sends login Notifications
either your active or not.
Login Approval
When we are logging to fb through unrecognized device it asks
permission to log by sending us a sms to the mobile. After approving it only
you can log into fb. TO do this fb sms service should be always activated. But
there was a problem logging to fb by some devices when Fb logging approval is
activated because some devices are not supported with this feature because it doesn’t
have a place to type fb login approval code. To overcome this problem you can
use App password.
- · Click the down arrow key in the up right corner
- · Click Account Settings
- · Click Security in left
- · Go to app password and generate app passwords.
And also when we are logging to FB using new device it asks
for a Device name and many people type some letters and click remember. This is
not good because by typing a proper name we can see from what devices we have logged
from. And even if we found any unknown devise we can remove it from the recognized
device list. There is another benefit of that for an example let’s say we have logged
from somewhere else and we forgot to log out so in that you can go to the device
list and remove it.
Another thing is logging from unsafe computers. We have to
think twice when we are logging from an unknown computer because they can save
our keystrokes which means they can save all our passwords that we typed. To
prevent this problem better to use Lastpass. We can save all our passwords in Lastpass
and using it when we want to log. It’s a safe logging tool.
On the other hand many
companies blocking time killing websites like Facebook. To overcome this
problem many people are using Proxy and VPN. When people are using web based
proxy which means we logging from their computers and working in our place. In
that case they can see what we are doing. And when we are logged from a VPN or
using a proxy our computers IP address are not goes to fb. It is proxy servers
IP address which will goes to fb. Then fb will recognize that we logged from different
country. This makes many problems when we are logging from our own computer.
I started from Facebook applications. Actually all the
applications are not take you into troubles. But some of them do. All I want to
say is it’s up to you to decide.
