Facebook Mobile Overview
As of January 2015, Facebook Mobile hosts 745 million daily mobile active users who accounts for over 60% of all mobile posts published to any online social
networking service. Though privacy can still be achieved, mobile users place their personal identity data at a greater risk when compared to users logging
in via desktop computer. This is in large part due to the fact that mobile devices provide Facebook with a means to access additional location information,
contact lists, photos, and other forms of personal data. Use the following recommendations to best protect yourself against oversharing.
Facebook Mobile Settings
Facebook Mobile’s general security settings closely resemble those of Facebook’s desktop application. Click More on the Facebook banner and select Settings.
From there, navigate through the Security, Privacy, Timeline and Tagging, and Locations tabs to apply the settings shown below.
Review active sessions and devices
to spot unauthorized activity
Disable Location History to
prevent Facebook from logging
your precise location at all times
iPhone Settings Android Settings
The iPhone’s security settings can help to further protect your personal data
while you use the Facebook Mobile App. From the iPhone’s Settings icon,
select Privacy and navigate through the Location Services, Photos, and
Facebook tabs to disable all of the permissions, as seen below.
Android phones can be configured to protect your personal data while you
access the Facebook Mobile App. Access the phone’s general Settings feature
and navigate through the Location Access and Apps tabs to limit the amount
of data that Facebook can take from your device.
Review the
permissions Facebook
requires access to
once the mobile app
is downloaded
Review all added content
•	 Only establish and maintain connections with people you know and trust. Review your connections often.
•	 Assume that ANYONE can see any information about your activities, personal life, or professional life that you post and share.
•	 Ensure that your family takes similar precautions with their accounts; their privacy and sharing settings can expose your personal data.
•	 Avoid posting or tagging images of you or your family that clearly show your face. Select pictures taken at a distance, at an angle, or otherwise
concealed. Never post Smartphone photos and don’t use your face as a profile photo, instead, use cartoons or avatars.
•	 Use secure browser settings when possible and monitor your browsing history to ensure that you recognize all access points.

Posting to Facebook
Facebook Mobile allows you to post new statuses, upload photos, or check-in
to locations using the Update Status prompt. The icons highlighted on the
update prompt, are intended to be shortcuts for adding further information
about you to each post. Follow the guidelines outlined in this section
to prevent oversharing your information and to maximize your security.
Remember, it is always best to limit the amount of personal information
shared online.
Selecting Your Audience
With every post, Facebook Mobile allows you to select the audience through
the Share With prompt. For maximum privacy, select individual friends
with whom you would like to share your post with. Never, make your posts
available to the public.
Add Photos Add LocationWhat Are You Doing?Tag Friends
Avoid posting photos to timelines.
These photos can often be viewed
from your contacts’ profile pages
and can be saved without your
knowledge or consent.
Never disclose your location within
a Facebook posting. Doing so allows
Facebook to keep records on your
whereabouts and allows others to
see when you are away from home.
This feature does not pose an
immediate threat to your privacy.
However, Facebook likely uses this
information to push targeted ads to
you based on your activities.
Tagging friends in individual posts
extends the reach of your profile
and your contacts’ profiles. Limit
the number of tags you post to your
Facebook entries.
Nearby PlacesNearby Friends
Nearby Friends is a feature that allows you to share your location with
friends. When activated, this feature routinely broadcasts your approximate
location to your friends. You also have the option to allow certain users to
see your precise location for set periods of time.
Nearby Places is a feature that uses your GPS location to display local venues.
When activated, the feature displays the distance to and ratings from other
users about the destination. When a venue is selected, individual reviews
appear with links to the posters’ profiles. Don’t post on these public threads.
When this feature is enabled, Facebook builds a history of your precise
location. You can view and manage this information from the Activity Log. In
general, avoid giving Facebook permission to track your location.
To use this feature, you must have Location History enabled. This feature
permits Facebook to track your precise location, even when the app is not in
use. Avoid giving Facebook permission to track your location.
