 Here are some important tips on how to use Facebook safely

1. Protect Your Account

  • Use a strong password — at least 12 characters, with numbers, symbols, and upper/lowercase letters.

  • Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) to add extra protection.

  • Don’t share your login details with anyone, even friends or family.

2. Control Your Privacy Settings

  • Go to Settings → Privacy → Checkup and review who can see your posts, friends list, and profile info.

  • Set “Friends Only” for personal posts.

  • Avoid posting sensitive details like your address, phone number, or daily location.

3. Watch Out for Scams

  • Don’t click on suspicious links or fake giveaways (“You won a prize!”).

  • Verify pages before sending money or personal info.

  • Report suspicious messages or profiles immediately.

4. Be Careful with Friend Requests

  • Only accept friend requests from people you know.

  • Fake accounts often use stolen photos or send random “Hi” messages.

5. Think Before You Post

  • Once posted online, it’s hard to delete forever.

  • Avoid sharing photos or opinions that might harm your reputation or safety.

6. Review App Permissions

  • Check which apps are connected to your Facebook under Settings → Apps & Websites.

  • Remove old or untrusted apps that can access your data.

7. Stay Updated

  • Always log out on shared devices.

  • Keep your Facebook app and browser updated for security patches.

  • Read Facebook’s Security and Privacy Center for new safety tools.
