Make Your Facebook 100% Private

[Rainfall]

Tired of people seeing your wall, friends, images, or status updates? This will solve it for you. Facebook makes it pretty hard to make your profile 100% private (they've been working on it) so here's a quick tutorial on making it totally private.

Why is this helpful? For example I posted on my wall "heroin is life" and had to get a drug test for heroin. I also took a picture of what someone wrote in a stall of the bathroom and put it on Facebook. I got suspended and blamed. And what most of you fear most; social life being ruined and dox. This will make it so only friends can see your stuff.

Let's begin:

1. First click Account and then Privacy Settings

These are my privacy settings:


2. Where it says "Connecting on Facebook" click on view Settings. Make it these settings or something similar:


3. Next click Customize settings under "Sharing on Facebook"
3a. Under "Things I share" put these settings

3b. Under "Things others share" put these settings

But click Edit settings on "Photos and videos I'm tagged in" and make sure it says "Friends Only"
3c. Under "Contact Information" put these settings:

To make it say "Only me" click the arrow and click "Customize" and you'll have another choice.

I hope this helped some people beat online privacy!

Interesting tutorial. I'm sure this will help with people that have to go through Social media checks for job and college applications. Thanks for the contribution!

Question about setting info such as your phone and such to "Only Me" What would be the purpose of even filling it in the box then inside the edit profile page? Wouldn't setting it to "Only Me" generally do the same thing as leaving it empty? Thus making it pointless and potentially less secure then just leaving the boxes for those things empty? I mean obviously facebook employees will still have access to it as admins of the server so unless you want them with that type of information wouldn't it just be safer/more secure to leave private details such as your address and mobile phone number as empty boxes in your profile? :D

Haha, sorry to hear about your problems with what I'm guessing is high school? I remember some girls getting suspended for taking pictures of themselves smiling/etc. at lunch, it's pretty stupid, but at least you can prevent it.

my facebook settings don't look like that anymore. So can't stop people from viewing my pics.

Anything that you release on Facebook is 100% visible to anyone in the world. Sure, you can reduce the amount of information you share with people but you can not moderate your account to completely block out unwanted people.
