How to Enable Facebook Feed on Windows Phone or Third Party App

Do not panic if you could not see your friends Facebook feed recently on People Hub on Windows Phone. You are not alone and it is not the fault of Microsoft. The “problem” is due to Facebook recent change in Privacy settings.

How to solve this “problem”. The sad fact is that you could not. However, you could “educate” your friend to change their privacy settings so that you can see the update.

Facebook’s recent change in the Privacy settings no longer allow Windows Phone to see feed of people that don’t authorize it. Facebook recognize Windows Phone as a third party app and not the official app.

So, you will need to set the privacy settings in order for your friends to see your feed and vice versa. Here is how you can do it.

How to Enable Status Updates for Third Party Apps

  • Click on Privacy Settings of Facebook on your browser

  • You will see this page. Click on “Edit Settings” on “Apps and Websites”.

  • You will see this page. Click on”Edit Settings” on “How people bring info to apps they use”

  • You should see this page. Ensure that you check the box for “My status updates” and “save changes”.

That is it. Your friends should be able to see your feed if they are using an non Official Facebook app. Let me know if you are successful and do tell your friends about it.

BTW, if you are not comfortable, you can disable it anytime. Have fun.
