Facebook last year introduced a new tool for its users that lets you see which of your data is being accessed by third-party apps and websites.
Social media giant Facebook tracks the data of its users to grow its advertising and business. But did you know that you can stop Facebook from tracking you? This feature has been added in Apple’s new update, so that you can easily refuse apps from taking your data, but there is no such special feature available in Android. But you can control it with the help of Facebook.
Actually Facebook introduced a new tool for its users last year. This tool allows users to see which of your data is being accessed by third-party apps and websites. Its name is ‘Off-Facebook Activity’ which gives users access to control data sharing. You can prevent your data from being shared through this. So let’s know its step-by-step process…
How to Access ‘Off-Facebook Activity’
Login to Facebook and then go to Security and Privacy.
After that click on Settings and select your Facebook information.
After doing this, click on Off-Facebook Activity option.
Know which apps are accessing your data
If you want to know which third party apps and websites are accessing your data through Off-Facebook Activity, then go to Off-Facebook Activity page and click on Manage your Off-Facebook Activity. After that enter your password for verification. After doing this, you will get information about all the websites and apps that are linked to the Facebook account.
To disable Off-Facebook Activity for apps and websites, after following the above steps, select the apps or websites for which you want to turn off Facebook activity. In this you can also turn off access to a particular app.
Turn off access to all such apps at once
If you want to disable Off-Facebook Activity for all websites and apps at once, then click on Manage Future Activities given on the page of Off-Facebook Activity. After this click on Manage Facebook Activity which comes in the popup. After that on the next page turn off the Future off-Facebook activity toggle and after that your future activities will not be tracked.
Apart from this, you can also clear the history of your Off-Facebook Activity. For this, you have to click on the Clear History button given on the Off-Facebook Activity page and all will disappear together.
