I guess most people are worried about privacy. Facebook has tried as much as possible to safe guide the users’ privacy. So, I believe whatever things that Facebook needs to do, it will ask for your permission.
To change privacy settings: –
- Go to your Facebook “Account”
- Select “Privacy Settings”
- Select “customize”
- Under “Things I Share”, Go to “Places I Check In”
- From the drop down menu, select “Customize”
- At “Customize”, Choose the settings. You can choose “only me” if you don’t want to share with anyone.
If you don’t want others to check you in, you can do so: –
- Go to your Facebook “Account”
- Select “Privacy Settings”
- Select “customize”
- Under “Things Others Share”, Go to “Friends can check me in to Places”
- Select “Disabled”
That is it! See, you can control your privacy.
