Updates appear when you make changes to fields in your profile that are visible to your friends. If you update a field with the privacy level set to myself, your friends won't see the change in their updates from your friends section.

Your friends will also be notified if you upload a photo to your album, add a video to your favorites, accept a new testimonial from a friend, or join a community. You'll see notifications of the same changes on your homepage when your friends make updates.

For a quick way to access your own updates section, click the updates button under your profile photo.
