Facebook is one of the largest social networks that belongs to the empire with the new name Meta. Originally, Facebook was primarily intended to connect people, but nowadays that is not quite the case - it is rather a huge advertising space. The number of Facebook users is really high, but the truth is that this social network is slowly losing its breath and people stop using it. Instead, they prefer other social networks. If you are a Facebook user, in this article we will look at 5 tips and tricks that you should know in its application for iPhone.

Clearing the page cache

If you click on a link on Facebook, you will not find yourself in Safari, but in the integrated browser of this application. We're not going to lie, in terms of functionality and quality this browser is not ideal, in any case it works well for basic activities. When viewing web pages through this integrated browser, cache data is created, which guarantees faster page loading, but on the other hand, takes up storage space. If you would like to delete the cache from pages within Facebook, click on the bottom left menu icon → Settings and privacy → Settings. Here below go down to Authorization and click open browser, where then press the button Delete u Browsing data.

Two-step verification

Our Facebook profile includes countless different data. Some of this data is visible to the public, but others are not. If someone were to gain access to your Facebook account, it would definitely not be a pleasant thing. Therefore, it is necessary to protect yourself as best as possible - in this case, the use of two-step verification seems to be the best option. When logging in to Facebook, you will have to verify yourself in another way in addition to your password. Tap to activate two-step verification menu icon → Settings and privacy → Settings. Then find the section Account, where you click the option Password and security. Here press the option Use two-step verification and choose a second verification method.

Turn on notifications

If you are in some groups on Facebook, in which a certain community operates, then you have certainly already met users who comment with a dot or a pin emoji in the comments of various posts. Users comment on posts in these ways for a simple reason. When you comment on a post, you will automatically receive notifications related to the post. For example, if someone comments on a post, you will know about it immediately. But it is necessary to mention that of course there is an easier and better way for you to be notified about the interactions in the post. Just tap on the top right corner of the post three dots icon, and then select an option from the menu Turn on notifications for this post.

Time spent in the application

Facebook, together with other social networks, is a real "time waster". Many users have no problem spending several hours a day on social networks, which can often be related to addiction. The most important thing in this case is for the user to realize and discover that during the time he spent on social networks, he could have been doing something else - for example, paying attention to friends or loved ones, working and much more. A special interface in which you can find out exactly how much time you spend on Facebook can help you realize this. Open it by tapping on the bottom right menu icon, and then on Settings and privacy → Settings. Here in the category Preferences unclick Your time on Facebook.

Set what others can see

Facebook can seem relatively nice, especially for younger users. You can use it to communicate and otherwise interact with your friends, loved ones and other users. But it is necessary to realize that there are really countless users on Facebook and among them there are also those who use it to obtain certain information. It often happens that a user writes a status on Facebook in which they say that they are going on vacation. This is great information for friends, but even better for would-be thieves and criminals. This way, they find out that no one will be at home, so they don't have to worry about anything and they practically have a clean job. Of course, in this case I might be exaggerating a bit, but somehow theft can happen - and this is just one of the few crimes that Facebook is also behind in a way. Ideally, users should not post any such information on Facebook. But if they want, they need to set it so that not everyone can see their posts, but only friends. This can be achieved by tapping on the bottom right settings icon → Settings and privacy → Settings. At the top here, tap on Privacy Tour → Who can see what you share. Will appear guide, which you just have to go through.
