Heyy people
This tutorial is all you need to know as if how to function better with Facebook. It’s quite simple and all in pictorial form so it’s easy to learn.
How to virtually be inactive on Facebook to selected person?
So you accepted a friend request, She/he is bugging the brains out of you but you don’t want to be rude enough to de-friend her/him. What to do?
Well just follow these simple steps
Being Offline 24×7
1.) Click on Friend’s List and create a new list for the people who you don’t want them to see you. Call it anything – stalker, annoying or whatever. I personally gave it the name alpha.
2.) Press and drag the person’s picture towards the new group that you formed
3.) Now the final thing, click on the green button on the right of the group name which says Go offline. Voila!! Now you won’t be pestered by annoying pings.
Hiding personal updates
This is quite useful for those who have their parents on Facebook and they don’t them to know where you got wasted the last night ;).
1.) See the nifty lock when you about to update you status or post anything, click it.
2.) Now a drop down menu would appear select Customize option.
3.) In the Hide this from enter the name of the people whom you don’t want to see your updates. You could also make your updates visible to a specific group of friends. Just select from “These people:” the list of your friends group. You could make this option viable for each and every update by checking the “Make this my default setting”.
Somethings fishy going on??
Do you suspect any funny business going on with your account? Does your friends know your password but promised you not to log in your account without permission? Do you trust them?
Well you could find out if someone hacked into your account with these simple steps.
1.) Click on the Account Settings under Account.
2.) Click on change under the Account security and check the On option and press save. With this option you’ll be notified by email or your mobile number(if added) whenever sometimes logs into your account from a different computer.
Whenever someone logs in this kind of screen would appear to them.
They have to type in something in order to login and that should alarm you.
An email should be sent to you immediately in the form shown in the pic.
By clicking the link you would be forwarded to a page where you could secure your account. By hitting the Continue button you can freeze your account so that only you could change your account password.
Keep Off My Private Property!!
This is an advance panel to fully privatise your stuff into the vicinity that you desire. You can do so by selecting the Privacy Setting under Account.
Then select Customize settings and simply choose the group as per you like.
Having Fun With Facebook
Group Chat
I think this is the most wonderful feature that Facebook has incorporated in its system. It’s quite a useful and productive feature that Facebook posses. In order to do so follow the following steps
1.) Select the Create Group option under you profile pic thumbnail on the top left side.
2.) Enter the name of the group and the members that you want to chat with. Now you also have an option to make this a public or private or a secret chat room. In Open or as i like to say Public chat room can be made in which anyone is invited or can join without the permission of admin of the group. In Closed or Private only the members could see the content but anyone may please to join the group. But I like and prefer the Secret group option, only the admin could invite the people and also the content is totally private. An admin could surely ban any group member in the setting page of that particular group.
3.) And there you go. You have your very own chat room. Now you can enjoy group chat on Facebook. Who needs an IM??
I’m feeling quite sleepy now.. I’ll carry on with my tutorial tomorrow. Till then cya.
Also, if you have any queries please feel free to ask.
