How To Make Your Facebook Completely Private

You can make your Facebook account completely private by changing several of the settings.
It is recommended to use facebook.com our a browser to make these changes to privacy.
You'll have to make several changes to the privacy tab under settings.
Make sure everything is set to only me or friends here.
Next, go to timeline and tagging and limit use to friends or only me.
Next, go to public posts and change from public to friends.
You also need to turn off face recognition in photos.
If you want to be harder to find, change your last name to your middle name under the general setting option.
Once you do all the settings changes related to privacy on Facebook, go to your profile, and make sure your phone number and email are also viewable to only me.

Facebook is annoying af,... I'm VERY computer savvy and I had to come to a damn tutorial to make sure my profile was fully private... smh

[@tcideh4929]

Your not that computer savvy then, nothing is private on facebook. Please switch to a better platform

[@user-kw2pr7qj3r]

It's really informative... coming from some one that didn't have a phone for about 5 years

[@doomfathertm8771]

This still doesn't explain how to stop random people seeing your profile. I click on some profiles and I can see nothing, people click on mine and can go through my time line, my photo's everything?

[@cookiie92]

Thank you very much! I was able to do almost all over my phone. I don't have access to a computer. But do you know how to make all of your photos private as well? Exspect for your current profile picture?

[@roundtreecumberbatch2012]

You have to do those individually. You can make your profile pic ONLY ME. The thumbnail will show up but nobody can comment or react which is how I have mine. If you're fishing for compliments, obviously this option isn't for everyone

[@manzanoashleygracem.558]

STILL HELPFUL AT OCTOBER 2020 THANKYOUUUU

[@donv2892]

Very well done, explained very well, completely understand, Thank you

[@ValessaBR]

Yes this video still very helpful in October 2020 Thank you so much.

[@hnx8522]

Question is how do you make yourself disappear from search results?! I did all of what you show in the tutorial and I can still see myself coming up in someone's search result (and they aren't friends with me)!

[@kurtalegarbes2400]

I wanna know the answer to this

[@tomburnham6640]

From all the searching Iv done it seems they've removed the option to do so a while ago, the only way to remove yourself from the search results is to deactivate your profile as far as I'm aware.

[@ABG33571]

You did not tell how could we hide our all past unloaded pictures on Fb. From public?

[@shocfacter]

Exactly. How is it complete without mentioning the hiding of pictures

[@Ellaine2015]

I used Korean name so people have a hard time to find me this is good idea for those toxic relatives

[@khunsarecool4456]

[@elephantontaesarm1543]

[@user-uw4no1rg5y]

Awesome video very helpful 💯 percent Thanks

[@rajani_xtha]

Love from London ❤️😍

[@AdamLaRosa]

Great video @howfinity but this only seems to be how to make your main profile private. I'm trying to make a business page I have largely private but it doesn't seem to work. Any help you could provide?

[@denebuff]

Great Video!! Thank You!! I'm adding your link to my FB page for my friends!!

[@Kavinbuchanan1]

[@dreamerofnights]

[@TheWicked5431]

Thanks! Really helped!

[@barryloftin4159]

Hey San I just wanted to ask you if you changed it to totally private can you still post to people ?? Or is there a setting for not accepting friends at this time ???? Thanks for the vid and I hope you’re doing well

[@christinarventricelli9638]

Thanks for the video I hope I can do this when I get back into Facebook I got kicked out of Facebook my account been disabled

[@JohnConboy1]

Very helpful. Thanks very much.

[@tekenajw7694]

This is great! But can you do one with the updated Facebook profile? I'm having trouble figuring it out on my own.

[@marysbite]

very helpful thank you dear

[@Sldivaa]

What happened to the button where you could just press to just make everything private

[@mooganify]

Right? I still think I’d show up in FB search now. This video was good but idk why you cant make yourself unfindable.

[@Beer-ho9wy]

Thanks for the video

[@Narbus1]

Hope this works, only time will tell lol. cheers man

[@keithc8108]

Very good information! Do you know how to recover an old FB account, once it's been locked out?

[@DeepImpFitness]

Does that also affect the fan page name?

[@msgna421]

3:23 i cant find that public post thing

[@GaMer-FoR-eVeR]

very useful thank you

[@elenaelishevadiaz2424]

Super helpful....thank you...!!

[@Jinka1950]

Thank you Saj. Oh my such a clear concise and easy explanation and direction. Thank you !! August 2020

[@TheUsualSuspekt]

Arent you still going to show up in Facebook search recommended friends?

[@jdask3368]

will these changes stop me from showing up on the people you may know lists for other people

[@Jennifer9715]

Thank you 🙏

[@alb41ful]

Thank you Saj for this clear video! Is it possible to prevent photos from being downloaded?

[@Howfinity]

Louise B I don’t believe you can. Because they can simply take a screen shot of it even if downloading was not an option

[@smalltownpicker]

although tips, this doesn't hid all posts from friends at one time. It just limits audience to friends.

[@Lev-qg5tl]

Thanks a lot

[@rashidafarax8717]

Thanks brother I appreciate your help

[@luis110613]

How do i set my featured photos private when its set to public now?

[@CharlesBaird]

That's not actually private. It's just not public.

[@EmmaBeck-i2m]

Thank you

[@roundtreecumberbatch2012]

Bad news is even if you and your friends have their friend list hidden, people can still find you and yiur friends by clicking on a profile pic and seeing who reacted or commented on post. Only way to keep that from happening is making profile pic ONLY ME. Pic still shows but no comments or reactions. Obviously you can't make your friends do this so if you want total privacy don't comment or react to anything. You can also remove ALL reactions from past posts under Activity Log. Facebook cares nothing about your privacy. You can also remove those annoying People You May Know suggestions underneath Settings>notifications

[@AR-pr6mt]

Are facebook Marketplace members considered "friends"? or other Groups? For example can they see your pictures and profile, if you set friends to see your pictures?

[@KYjchan]

thanks for the help man

[@hamzabounya6571]

Thank you SIR

[@Coolblackman25]

THANKS SOOO MUCH!!!!

[@B00Mkinz]

Thank you friendo.

[@420_Lucifer]

I did everything you did and people who I'm not friends with are still able to see my friends list, my old posts, and message my friends. Any way to actually change it?

[@mr2yoda]

Does any of this affect my business page? I still want to keep that page public.. Thanks!

[@rounddancefan1]

[@BeyondFrenemies]

Incognito lol thank you

[@qualitylife5350]

Why friend lists are private still showing few friends in public in different new fb in different phone also I have not added them in here?

[@NanaBARS]

Why does FB restrict my post unless I make it public? I posted a YT video and they restricted it saying if I want it to show, I need to make it public🙄

[@robellesimon9436]

Thank you May 02, 2020

[@Ryan-co6ze]

[@fjkfjskj7863]

Thanks.

[@faye4426]

is there any way to set the featured photos private? i don't want strangers to see them. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@mariamassimigliano2831]

though I put only me, or specific friends I found out my posts were on other time pages and when I clicked on the sign it showed only me and the other one showed the names I did not want to share with. so this means fb is not safe, my private posts were put public ..... and particularly on pages of those I did not want them to share with. do you know why please?

[@neiladriannobleza5772]

bro i turn off facebook guard but still private?

[@livinglove8542]

Is there a way to mske all past posts visible to only me without having to do it one at a time for years lol

[@sandysummers6721]

Thank you x

[@bubbuddy986]

Sandy Summers hi hi

[@blacjackdaniels200]

I want to be non-searchable on there I want when people type in my name to not find me, not just see my profile and not be able to click anything.

[@wbnfnet]

So I’m trying to understand why one would want to set future posts to “only me”. Isn’t the point of posting so that your friends actually see your posts? What an i missing?

[@Howfinity]

Yea that is really for personal archiving. I don’t know why anyone would choose that either. It will make Facebook pointless unless you just wanted a place to store photos for yourself

[@jabslandua3727]

How can i private my timeline now i cant see the timeline

[@Yustax]

It wont let me change my album settings to private.

[@yserenity3683]

pls do how to change bio privacy on facebook

[@alberto.uy.vosozovkf]

Is there a way for me to change all my posts before to "only me" or "friends"? Like my posts from last year or couple of years ago are in public. Can I change them all to "friends only" or "only me" in just a click or two? I appreciate those can notice me. :)

[@BNTministries]

Is there a way to hide your mutual friends lis

[@realest0202]

I came here to avoid my Facebook friends see my cringe posts and photos when I was younger

[@hayleykiyokoisbae1776]

I put my relationship status to only friend but it took it off my bio? whyyyy

[@josephcarroll6356]

I just want to use this for marketplace. I don't want anybody with my number to see me under people you may know or any of that crap.

[@southside9417]

HELP😭 maybe i missed something i need to post videos inside another facebook group. But i dont want any of my friends in my group to see the videos👏

[@AlexJ-vx7mv]

UUUUUG!!! I have been trying for past 6 hours to try and find someone, anyone to show what your showing BUT NOT WITH FB "ACCOUNT" but for one of my FB "PAGES", please do a video on How to Disable the SHARE option on all posts not just individual posts and pleeeeease why can we no longer change our FB PAGES from public to Private or at least to members only? Thank you, signed: EFFING FRUSTRATED lol

[@denv5221]

Not useful! Either it cannot be done or no one has ever tried it. I want only to hide or view only by me my profile picture from everyone including friends or stay hidden from friends, if that is even possble. I know we all knew what a profile picture is! When I say, I want to hide my profile picture I only mean my profile picture. Not my post, not my future post, not my story, not my photo gallery or not my friends list! Lets put it this way coz everyone knows about video games or computer games so. How do I hide my facebook Avatar( profile pic) from my friends or everyone?
