For this month:
10 tips on how to use Facebook
1. Update Your Privacy Settings
Check who can see your posts, friend list, and profile info. Go to Settings > Privacy and adjust it to suit your comfort level.
2. Curate Your News Feed
Unfollow people or pages that post content you don’t want to see. You can stay friends but stop seeing their updates.
3. Use the “Favorites” Feature
Add close friends or favorite pages to your Favorites list so their posts show up at the top of your feed.
4. Create Lists for Friends
Organize friends into custom lists like “Family,” “Work,” or “Close Friends” to control who sees what when you post.
5. Be Selective with Friend Requests
Don’t feel pressured to accept everyone. Only add people you know or trust to avoid spam and scams.
6. Use Facebook Groups for Community
Join or create groups based on your interests. It’s a great way to meet like-minded people or stay updated on specific topics.
7. Secure Your Account
Turn on two-factor authentication to keep your account safe. You’ll find it under Settings > Security and Login.
8. Schedule Posts with Meta Business Suite
If you’re managing a page or running a business, you can schedule posts in advance using Meta’s tools.
9. Engage with Posts You Care About
Like, comment, and share posts you enjoy — Facebook uses your activity to shape your feed.
10. Take Breaks if Needed
If you ever feel overwhelmed, use the “Take a Break” or “Mute” features to step back without deleting your account.
