Cyber Security - Online Safety [Part 1]

Visible to anyone in the world

Facebook has quietly rolled out a new feature that automatically gives it access to your phone’s entire camera roll, even photos and videos you do not upload nor share. This means Facebook could use your private content for “suggestions” and targeted ads, without your explicit consent.

How to Turn It Off:

I. Log into your Facebook account

II. Tap the three lines at the top right of your profile

III. Click the gear icon at the top right

IV. In the search bar, type “camera”

V. Turn off “Get camera roll suggestions when you’re browsing Facebook”

VI. Turn off “Custom sharing suggestions from your camera roll”
