How to private my Facebook Account
How Do I Actually Make My Facebook Profile Private?
Facebook is a marvellous tool for keeping in touch with old friends, family and anyone else you care to talk to. But that digital freedom can come at a cost: your privacy. Fortunately there are ways to ensure only the people you want to see your Facebook profile can – unless of course somebody knows your password.
The process of making your Facebook private is actually relatively painless once you familiarise yourself with the increasingly bloated user-interface. So where do you begin? Read on.
1 Privacy Shortcuts
There are two easy ways to get to the relevant privacy settings of your Facebook profile. In the top right, you will see a button to the right of your name – it has a padlock on it and three horizontal lines. Press it and then select 'See More Settings' at the bottom.

Alternatively you can click the little cog settings button located in the very top right next to the aforementioned Privacy Shorts button and then select "Settings" from the drop-down menu. The end result is exactly the same in either case. Now you can start to tailor your privacy.
2 Who can see my stuff?
Under the Privacy Settings and Tools heading you will see three bolded questions: "Who can see my stuff?", "Who can contact me?" and "Who can look me up?". We'll start with the first heading in the list.

On "Who can see your future posts?" click the edit button on the far right. Now select who you want to see your future Facebook posts from the drop-down. Public will be the opposite of private (naturally), so set it to "friends" if you only want Facebook friends to see them.
