Here’s a step-by-step process on how to control who can find you on Facebook
HOW TO CONTROL WHO CAN FIND YOU ON FACEBOOK? – This article will teach you how to control who can find you on this social media platform.
Facebook users – except users you have blocked on the platform – can search for your account and click on your profile, but what users can see about you in search results depends on what’s shared with them.
Your email address and mobile phone number have a setting to control who’s able to look you up on the platform using that information.
Here’s a step-by-step process on how to control who can find you on the platform:
If you want to control who’s able to look you up on Facebook, you need to click on your profile in the top right of Facebook, then choose “Settings & privacy”, and then select “Settings”.
After that, you need to click “Privacy” on the left and you can see a setting for your email and a setting for your phone number below the “How People Find and Contact You” section.
- You need to click the “Edit” to the right of “Who can look you up using the email address you provided?” if you want to update your email setting.
- You need to click the “Edit” to the right of “Who can look you up using the phone number you provided?” if you want to update your phone number setting.
The last step is to select users who can look you up using those information.
Keep in mind that the search results won’t show your profile if someone searches for your email or your phone number using Search. However, there are some things you need to look out for:
- Your friends can see your Facebook profile if you’re sharing your email address or your phone number on your profile with them.
- Facebook users can search your profile in the Messenger app using your phone number.
