Q&A: How can I hide the pages I’ve ‘Liked’ from my Facebook friends?

Posted on April 16, 2023

Question from Brenda:  I have a Facebook question that I hope you can answer for me Rick.

I have many varied interests so I “Like” a wide variety of pages, some of which I’d rather keep to myself and not let some of my Facebook friends know about.

Is there a way to “hide” those pages from my friends but still access them myself as usual?  [Read more…]

How to log out of Facebook remotely using a different device

Posted on April 7, 2023

Have you ever logged into your Facebook account at work and forgot to log back out before leaving for the day?

Or perhaps you borrowed a friend’s smartphone to post a quick status update and then handed the phone back to him/her without logging out?

Posted on April 2, 2023

 

Question from Vicki: Hi, Rick. I have a question re: Facebook Reporting.

I was wondering if you could clear up a big disagreement between two of my friends?

One of them believes if your account is reported by another user Facebook tell you who reported you. The other one disagrees.

Can you clear this up once and for all?
