Facebook doesn't exactly make it easy for you to stay off its radar.
Some people don't like getting random friend requests or awkward messages from long-forgotten friends. Some people just want to use Facebook to keep up with others, but don't want others to be able to keep up with them.
Want to stay hidden on Facebook?
We can help you out.
When you're finished, no one but you will be able to see your Facebook activity, view your photos, or see where you've checked in. Your current friends will still be able to view your basic profile — there's no way around this — but all your activity will be blank.
Note: You don't have to block all the features we suggest. You can pick and choose. If you still want to keep things like wall posts and event invites, you can.
To get started, click on the cog in the upper right corner and select "Privacy Settings."
To change your privacy settings, you'll always click the "edit" button located to the right of each setting. Once you are done making changes, clicking "close" will exit you out of each individual section.
For the most stringent settings, select the drop down menu and select "only me." This ensure no one but you can see your future posts.
