How to Make Sure Facebook is Secure
Hey everyone. There's been a lot of privacy issues with Facebook lately, and it's been in the news. So I wanted to make a quick video to show you how you find all the apps that are tracking you on Facebook. Because we use Facebook to log in with a lot of other apps and a lot of them, we probably set, set them and we forgot about them.
So I want to show you how to find out all the apps that are tracking you and how to turn those off. If it's your first time here, I make it easy to follow social media and tech tutorials five times a week. So please consider subscribing. Now, let's jump into the computer so I could show you how to find those apps on, turn them off.
So log into your face Facebook accounts, and I'm going to show you how to find out all the different apps that are tracking you on Facebook and using your information. Now, this was a little bit shocking when I found it, but let me show you how to get there. So on your Facebook page, go ahead and click this little arrow, and then this will take you to your settings.
So go ahead and go all the way down to settings. Go ahead and click settings and under the setting page on the side here, you want to look at their apps. So if you look on the side here, you should see apps, click that, and if you look right in the middle of that page, It says to log in with Facebook with hundred 62 apps.
This is actually my personal Facebook page and it looks like in the last 10 years or so actually I've been on Facebook for 14 years. So in the last 14 years, I've given permission to 262 apps to use my information and when I was going through this, if I press show all, it will show you all of them here. I've never heard a lot of these and if I have I've completely forgotten about them, they could be from 2006 from 2008, 2004. So there are so many apps here. So what you want to do once you get to this page is go through it and really clean up. So 90 stores, I'm not even sure what that is. You can either edit the setting under-setting is telling you what is using what kind of information is using.
So my birthday, my public information, my friend's list, even relationship status, everything. So if I don't want that app to have that information, I could press X and I could remove it just like that got removed. So you could keep doing this with all your apps. If you come all the way to the bottom here, apps, websites, and plugins.
Games and notifications, all these different things have their own options. So apps others use, you could go ahead and edit this one and this is the information those apps have about you. This is what your friends could share about you. So you could change some of this. I don't want these to be shared. I could just turn off some of these if I want it to just like that and then I could press, let me just turn this off. Press save. That limited a lot of the information being shared by apps from your friends. So again, go through these, make sure you X out or you edit what you don't want to be shared by these apps and then you change your overall setting by apps others use over here, and that should make your Facebook a lot more secure because the leaks didn't come from Facebook hacks, they came from some of these apps sharing some of the information without your permission.
So make sure. The apps that you're giving permissions to are really the ones you want to have some of your information. I hope you found this video useful and you make your Facebook a lot more secure. Please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to this channel.
