A little bit outdated on May 28, 2023 (a year later) but video is still helpful. FB got rid of the "location" option and there is something there instead (region), and your instructions there can't be follow. Couple other minor issues as well, but again still video was helpful. FB loves to make things hard for users. A simple script could get all these steps done in one second. Thanks.

Why have they made it so complicated to make your photos private

[@bethbarber794]

Very helpful, BUT...I didn't have all of the options you do. I don't know why, but...I did what I could with what I had :)

[@jujubunnybea]

same

[@crabbyjohn]

Great job! Everything went smoothly until the end when I got to changing the audience on photos. I clicked on individual photos as you suggested, and then the "...", but I wasn't given an option to edit the audience. The only way I could get that option was to select "Your Photos" which brought in the entire photo collection on my Macbook in addition to the ones on Facebook. Also, after making the changes you suggested, is there a way to now see what others will see on my profile? Thanks again. This tutorial was very well organized and presented.

2024 IS NOW COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN EDGE. PRIVACY AND LOCATION IS NOT LISTED.

[@joevallone7313]

How can you just completely hide your profile temporarily to change some things?

[@jjsnet]

Gauging Gadgets, I am having trouble getting my WATCH icon on the Facebook navigation bar. Mine is missing. All the searches only bring up instructions for iPhone or Android apps, but I need instructions for my Windows 10 PC Facebook account. Are you able to help? Thanks

[@PracticalDigitalStrategies]

Easy as cake to follow with dual monitors, watch and pause on monitor 1, make any changes needed on monitor 2, thanks for sharing.

[@GaugingGadgets]

Glad it helped you! Thanks for watching!

[@KaliKali216]

I don’t have a location on my left hand side

[@litoaranda1810]

In Post and Stories, you selected "Only Me": for the FUTURE POSTS does that mean that NO ONE can see your posts? What is the reason for posting something if Nobody can see it ? or is there something I am not understanding ???

[@diandraliebenberg4713]

I have a question please. If I change my bio settings to friends, they can't see it but they are suppose to be able to see it? They can only once its on public but if I change it to "friends" my bio disappear off their fb when they are on my account. Why's that? If I didn't want them to see it I would've changed it to only me. So the only option I have is public and thats not the option I want.. any advice?

[@digital_mixtape]

Very helpful video 👍🏽

[@KaliKali216]

I don’t have a location on my left hand side what should do or what other options do I have to turn it off

[@danielleramos8326]

Thank you for this, but it doesn't give me the "edit audience" option for any other photo except my main profile pic. Everything else is still public, and it's driving me crazy that I can't fix it. Any other ideas on how to fix this?

[@brianvent]

what about sub accounts. I have a 2nd profile in my login for a biz and cannot update the settings. Any ideas?

[@lilianikoo4020]

Thanks!

[@daganhaddad]

So when I review Apps & Websites, select an App, klik to remove previous posts, unklik for the notification option, klike "remove"....I get an error box - "Query Error" (Error performing query.) & another pop up on my desktop (bottom left corner) shows "Your settings were not saved - Try again"......Thoughts/Suggestions?.....Thanks for all you informative content!

[@GaugingGadgets]

I did a quick search and it seems clearing your browser cache can help with this error. Hopefully this helps. Thanks!

Good info! Thanks. One super-picky suggestion: You are pronouncing pictures, pichers. It's pick-tchures. Thanks.
