Users can now fully customise their settings from the palm of their hand
Facebook has given its members the ability to control their privacy settings from a mobile phone for the first time.
Users can visit m.facebook.com/privacy or go into the Settings page and click the 'Change' link next to the words 'Privacy Settings' in order to:
- Select who can see the content they post by setting the control for sharing on Facebook to friends, friends of friends or everyone
- Customise granular settings and have them take effect instantly
- Read through Facebook's privacy guide, formatted for mobile devices
In a blog post, Facebook's mobile project manager Michael Eyal Sharon said: "All of Facebook's privacy controls are now available from any browser-enabled mobile device to the more than 500 million people, like you, who are using Facebook in every country around the world. Few online services offer any privacy controls to their mobile users. None that we know of offer the same control as the desktop version.
"As mobile devices have become more sophisticated and widespread, we've noticed that people are creating content and accessing Facebook at every moment of the day, in many locations—not just from desktops."
