How to clean up your Facebook account!

Apps/applications that are no longer used, members of groups without added value, real friends or just game neighbors?

Just like in your apartment, things accumulate on Facebook over time that you may no longer need! The more intensively and longer you use Facebook, the more it accumulates. If you clean up your Facebook account again and again, you will see that your homepage becomes clearer and more secure. In this article we'll show you how to really clean out your Facebook account. We start with the applications.

1. Applications/Apps

Applications that are no longer used should be deleted, or the permissions of those you use should be carefully examined. Here you can go directly to your apps.

2. Remove old status posts

Do you really want all status posts to be in your timeline? Take the time to scroll up and down your timeline and remove everything you no longer need. Here you can go directly to your profile on Facebook .

3. Remove “Friends”.

Over the course of your Facebook career, you accumulate a lot of friends. Do you really know everyone personally or are there profiles that don't mean anything to you? Go through your friends list and take a close look at your friends. If that's too much work for you, just pay attention every day to who's birthday it is and then decide whether you still want to be friends or not. You can find the friends list in your profile under the “Friends” tab. Here's a tip from us: You can also protect your friends list from prying eyes here.

4. Facebook groups

Please think about which Facebook group is really important to you and which group offers you added value personally. To leave a group again, you have to go directly into a group and leave it. Here you can find the groups of which you are a member.

5. Facebook pages

Facebook pages are like groups. Do you really care about every page you've liked? Do all pages still provide you with relevant content? You can find the pages you like in your profile under the “Likes” tab.

6 Notifications

Facebook's motto is never to miss an interaction. But do I really need any information if, for example, a friend, a group or a page posts something? You can set your notifications via your “ Account Settings

7. Clear search history

Did you know that every search query you make is saved? But you can delete these. You can access this option here . Once you are on the “Search” page, you will find a button on the right called “Clear Search”.

8. Check privacy settings

Finally, please check your privacy settings. So who can see anything from you? Since this is a bit more extensive, we would like to refer you to our article “ Your Facebook profile: Secure in 5 minutes ”.
