And if you are from a country with slow internet speed, you can also change the default quality to SD from HD.
7.Your Personal Account Security
A very cool feature that Facebook allows is for you to receive notifications whenever it detects any unusual activity. This means that if you’re Facebook account is set to used to being accessed from your desktop at home and you decide to log on to your account from a personal laptop or desktop Facebook will send you a notification that your account was accessed from a device outside of your usual device.
This can be helpful if you know that you haven’t accessed your account from anywhere else and if someone tries to log on from their computer, you will be notified. You can figure you the location from which your most recent account activity took place, and you can enable this feature by following these steps:
Account Settings –> Account Security

8.How to Hide Facebook Friend List from Others
Privacy is one of the big concerns of Facebook, but recently FB implemented a lot of new settings for maintaining a user’s privacy.
Now, a user has control on almost everything in their profile (e.g. status, photos, albums etc). The user also has the control of how they want to share material (e.g. with everyone, friends, friends of friends, etc). Users can even manually hide a status from specific people.
Did you know that you can even hide your friend list? It’s true.
If you don’t want strangers to see your friend list, then you can just hide it from them. It’s very easy. You can use the enhanced Facebook privacy settings to modify your friend list’s visibility.
One thing which I have noticed when you keep your friend list public is that many people see that list and start adding friends blindly.
And seeing common friends, other friends usually accept the friend request. It’s kind of embarrassing when your female friend informs you that some mutual friend of yours has sent her a friend request.
It’s better to let your friend list be visible only to you and hidden from others.
This guide has been updated to match the new Facebook privacy settings, as Facebook made some major changes recently. So, follow this new tutorial and hide your Facebook friend list from others:
Now, on your Facebook friend list page, simply click on the “Manage” icon at the top right & click on “Edit Privacy”.
From here you can control who can see your friend list and who can’t. I usually keep it visible to me only, as this is better for the privacy of my friends because I don’t want them to be bombarded with unlimited friend requests.
Check out this screenshot for better understanding:
If you don’t want anyone to see your Facebook friend list, keep the “Who can see your friend list” setting to “Only Me”.
(Keeping your Facebook friend list visible for others is totally your choice, but my suggestion would be to keep it hidden for the privacy of your friends.)
9.How to download all of your Facebook information
Almost everyone who uses Facebook has lots of information, content and memories stored within the social network.
If you’d like a backup of all your Facebook data – including photos – you can download everything in a few simple steps:
- Head over to your Facebook Settings page
- Click Download a copy of your Facebook data below your General Account Settings
- Select ‘Start My Archive’ to get your download going
Pro tip: The data that you download from Facebook contains a lot of sensitive information like inbox messages, photos and more. It could be a good idea to keep it all saved in a safe location.
