What if I don't want my friends to see an update I make to my profile?

Print

It's easy to change your settings so that updates to your profile won't show up in the updates from your friends section of your friends' homepages. You can choose to either disable the whole feature, or only disable certain updates from appearing

Hiding all updates

To disable this feature entirely, simply follow these steps:

  1. Click settings on the sidebar of your profile.
  2. Select the privacy tab.
  3. Check hide updates.

Note: Updates will be sent to your friends only for actions performed while you have the updates feature enabled. If you disable this feature, you can still see your friends' updates in the updates from your friends section of your homepage.

Hiding only certain updates

You can also hide individual updates from appearing on your friends' homepages without disabling the whole feature. To hide a notification for a single update, simply follow these steps:

  1. Go to the updates from your friends section of your homepage.
  2. Click my updates at the bottom of the page.
  3. Click hide update next to the update you want to hide. This item will not be displayed in the updates section on your friends' homepages.

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