How to create a private Facebook WallPost? How to Hide a Picture on Facebook?
I will answer a fan question in this video.
Mayank Kumar has asked a question about Facebook.
He wants photos posted by him on Facebook should not be visible by anyone.
Let's see how to enable this.
You can choose your privacy settings when you post something in Facebook.
You can keep that post public such that anyone can see it .
You can also post it such that only you can see it .
Or you can choose to share it with a few select people only.
Let's post something on Facebook from a PC
and let's see how to use privacy settings.
My Facebook is open.
Let's post something here.
Click on Add Photos/Video
Choose a picture to upload.
The photo is being uploaded.
You can change the privacy settings before clicking Post.
Click on the drop-down menu.
A menu opens up.
You can choose to make this photo public which means anyone will be able to view it.
You can choose to share the photo with your friends.
Your friends need to be your Facebook Friends or Facebook Contacts.
Or you can choose the "Only Me" option.
If you choose this option only you will be able to see this photo even though it is posted on your timeline
Choose the "Only Me" option and click on Post.
The photo has been posted .
There is a lock icon in the post.
This icon is for the "Only Me " option.
This photo can only be seen by you.
Let's post something on Facebook from the mobile phone & let's see the use of privacy settings.
I will use a Samsung Note 4 which is an Android phone.
This is my Facebook timeline.
Click on photo.
Let's choose a photo to upload.
I will choose this photo of the Eiffel Tower to upload.
You can choose more than one photo to upload as well.
It depends on you how many photos you want to upload.
Let me de-select the other photos as I only want to upload one photo at this time.
Click on the Done button.
By Default the Friends option has been chosen.
You can click here to change the privacy settings.
If you choose "Only Me" , this photo will only be visible to you.
Click on the arrow to go back
The privacy setting for the photo has changed to "Only Me"
The photo has not been posted yet.
Till you click on the Post button the photo will not be posted.
Click on the Post button.
The photo has been posted on my timeline.
You can see the lock icon in the post which means that this is only visible to you.
This is my Facebook account.
You can change the privacy settings at any time.
For instance if you click here you can choose to share the picture with more people.
You can choose to share the photo with a group
like I have a group of close friends , I can click here and share the picture with them.
At times we have photos that we don't want to share with everyone
And we don't want these to be visible to everyone.
In such a situation if you have a group such as close friends or family , you can share the photo with them.
As soon as I click on Close Friends , Facebook notifies me that this is now set to close friends.
The privacy setting which was previously set to only me is now set to close friends.
You can choose your preferred privacy setting here
If you want your privacy setting for next time also to be close friends then click on "Change to Close Friends".
If you want your default setting to be the previous one meaning Only Me then click on "No Thanks "
Next time when you come here you will see the previous setting itself.
You can change your privacy settings from Settings as well.
Click on the drop-down arrow at the top.
A menu opens up.
Scroll down & click on Settings
Your Facebook settings are displayed here.
Click on Privacy
You can set your privacy settings here .
The first setting is for Who can See my Stuff
This is set to Custom .
We changed this a short while back . You can also choose to edit it from here.
Click on the edit button
Facebook is asking us to choose Who can see your future posts.
You can set here who will be able to see your future posts.
Click on Custom
Let's choose our default setting to be Friends.
Whenever we want to post something the default display will be friends.
You can change this at the time you are posting something as well.
Click on Close
Before we end , two important things to note -
No.1 - If you have shared your post or photo with a group such as family,
then the next time you go to post something your privacy setting by default will be the same.
Just as I showed you sometime back.
No.2 -It is also possible to hide a post or photo from selected people , like your colleagues or your boss.
Let's see how to do this.
Click on Add Photos/Video to upload a photo.
Select the photo to upload.
The photo has been uploaded.
The privacy setting by default is Only Me .
Click on the button to change the privacy setting.
Click on the "Custom" button below Only Me .
A new menu will open up.
You can choose your custom privacy setting here.
You can share the photo with certain people and also hide it from selected people as well.
Let's choose to share the photo with Family.
The photo will now be shared with the family group.
I have previously created this group on Facebook.
If there are specific individuals you do not want to share the photo with you can type their name here.
Let's type a name here
Facebook is notifying us that anyone included in the restricted list won't be able to see the post unless you tag them.
Click on Save Changes
The photo appears here and the privacy settings are customized.
Click on the Post button.
The photo has been posted to our selected people.
The post will be visible to our family. People that we have restricted will not be able to see the post.
The name we typed in the "Don't Share with " box will also not be able to see the post.
You have a no. of privacy options here.
You can choose to add people one by one that you want to share your posts with or you can choose to hide your posts as well.
It is extremely easy.
In a few secs. you can use your privacy settings to share your photos with yourself or your selected Facebook friends.
