How to Review Your Own Facebook Profile

Review your Facebook profile to make sure you're not publishing too much.

Every Facebook user has his own unique profile page, complete with URL and username. Your profile page will display items like your News Feed, profile picture, friend list and more. Most of your Facebook activity will typically display here unless you adjust your privacy settings. The page will display differently to different types of members. Some users will see more content than others, based on levels of friendship and connection. If you're unsure of how your page looks to others, you can review your profile in just a few steps.

Instructions

1. Sign into your Facebook account using your email address and password and select the "Profile" tab in the upper-right corner of any page. Scroll through your profile viewing the different types of content that appear.

2. Click the"Account" tab in the upper-right corner and select the "Privacy Settings" option from the drop-down menu.

3. Click the "View Settings" link under the "Connecting On Facebook" section of the "Choose Your Privacy Settings" page. Click the "Preview My Profile" button to see how your profile appears under your current privacy settings. Type the name of a friend in the space provided to see how your profile appears when they view it. Click the "Back To Privacy Settings" to adjust your settings and review your profile to see an updated view of your profile.
