To anyone who has just discovered the importance of networking and social connections, a social media account often seems the first step towards making new connections. A social media platform is indeed the best place in this digitally connected world to expose yourself and your talents to the world. And as far as making new connections and reviving old ones are concerned, no platform can provide the possibilities Facebook offers.
We all use Facebook to chat with friends, share photos, follow celebrities, and even buy and sell products and services on the platform. The vastness of Facebook in terms of the variety of services it offers is unmatched. It is no surprise that the platform is called a leader of social media platforms.
The services of Facebook offer a diverse range of benefits, yet they might not be the best option for everyone. The exposure you get on the platform is amazing, but what if you prefer reclusion? What if you don’t want strangers to see your personal photos on Facebook? What if you are more interested in using the platform more privately?
One way to practice privacy on Facebook is to hide your Facebook photos from as many people as you want. But can you do that? Can you hide all Facebook photos at once? Can you hide all your past and future photos you share on Facebook? All these questions require answers, and we will answer them for you now.
