How to Stop My Facebook Status From Yahoo!

Yahoo! is an online content provider and messaging service that allows you to send email, instant messages, read news feeds and consolidate your social media accounts. Through Yahoo! Pulse, you can integrate your Facebook account with your Yahoo! account, so whatever you post as a status update on one appears on the other. However, if you later decide you no longer want your Facebook status to automatically cross-post as your Yahoo! status, you can unlink the two accounts easily through your network management dashboard on Yahoo! Pulse.

Instructions

1. Visit pulse.yahoo.com and click the "Sign In" link in the upper-right section of the page. Log into your Yahoo! account on the next page.

2. Click the cog icon in the middle column, just below the status update field. This opens the account management submenu.

3. Click the "Manage Updates" tab in the drop-down menu.

4. Click the "Manage" link next to "Linked Account Settings" in the "Manage Sharing Preferences" section.

5. Click the "Remove" link next to the Facebook section, then click the purple "Remove" button in the pop-up confirmation dialog box that appears. This permanently removes your Facebook status updates from appearing as Yahoo! updates.

Tips & Warnings

• Unlinking your Facebook from your Yahoo! account will also prevent your Yahoo! content from appearing on your Facebook account.
