Timeline Controls

Choose what goes on your Timeline, and the audience for your posts.

 

Approve what goes on your timeline

You can decide if the posts you're tagged in appear on your timeline. To review posts friends tag you in before they appear on your timeline, go to the “Timeline and Tagging” section of your privacy settings. Posts you choose not to include on your timeline may still appear elsewhere on Facebook. Learn more about tagging.

Changed your mind? No problem

Have you ever shared something with all your friends, then later wished you could limit who could see it? Now you can go back and change the audience for something after you post it.

 

Choose who to share with

Privacy controls are right next to things you share, so it’s clear who sees your stuff. You can pick and choose who sees what — like share your hometown with friends, but only let family see your phone number.

How do I change who can see the information on my timeline?

Click the Update Info button at the top of your timeline (under your cover photo). Find the section you want to edit and use the audience selector to pick who can see each piece of information.

To change the audience for a piece of info, open the dropdown menu next to it and choose from Public, Friends or Custom. If you choose Custom, you can name specific friends to include or exclude from the people who see your info.
