Why You Should Review Social Media Privacy Settings
Privacy settings can affect who sees your profile, how accounts are protected and which third-party services can access your information.
Review Profile Visibility
Check who can see your profile and posts. Review what personal information is publicly visible and remove anything you do not need to share.
Strengthen Login Security
- Enable login or security alerts.
- Use two-factor authentication.
- Sign out unfamiliar devices or sessions.
- Keep recovery options current.
Review Connected Apps
Remove third-party apps and services you no longer use. Be cautious if a service asks for your password directly instead of using a trusted sign-in flow.
Final Tip
Privacy is not a one-time setup. Review settings again when a platform adds new features or when you connect a new service.
