As at the time of writing this guide, I tried to modify my privacy settings from Facebook App for Android but it did not work. To ensure that this works, perform this task either from your computer or use a browser on your smart phone.
  • Open Facebook.com from a browser on your phone and login to your Facebook account.
If you are reading this guide from a computer, you could also complete the task from a browser on your PC or Mac. I am performing this demo with Chrome browser on my Android (Samsung) phone.
  • Click the 3 lines on the top right of the Facebook page.
Modify Facebook Privacy Settings to Make Future Facebook Posts Shareable
  • Then scroll down to HELP & SETTINGS section and click Settings.
Modify Facebook Privacy Settings to Make Future Facebook Posts Shareable
  • When your Facebook account Settings opens, scroll down to Privacy section. Then click Privacy settings.
Modify Facebook Privacy Settings to Make Future Facebook Posts Shareable
  • On your Privacy settings, scroll down to Your activity section. If Who can see your future posts is NOT set to Public, click it.
If this setting is already showing as Public, then your Facebook posts will be shared as Public and will be sharable by default.
  • When Who can see your future posts settings opens, beneath Choose a different audience, select Public.
  • Who can see your future posts will now show Public.
With the new privacy settings, all your future Facebook posts will automatically set privacy to Public. This means that all your future Facebook posts will be shareable!
