by Andrew Brown Content Writter

Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites available on the web. Millions of people access this platform to connect with the people across the world for their personal or commercial purpose. It offers many amazing features to its users. With the help of it, users can stay in touch with their friends, families, and colleagues.

Facebook has provided many options for privacy settings that avoid other people to access some section of the Facebook account including their own friends. However, sometimes you may not be aware of what FB might be doing with your profile. Facebook will start using your photos in Facebook’s social ads that will display on the Newsfeed of your contacts. It is legal and it is clearly mentioned in their Privacy Policy when you create a Facebook account.

If you don’t desire to allow Facebook to use your personal profile or photos in advertising their services in any way, then you can follow the below-mentioned steps given here to prevent Facebook from using your Name or Profile photo in their Facebook Social Ads.

· You need to press on the Account tab located in the top right-hand corner of the screen.

· Choose Account Settings from the drop-down menu list.

· You need to press on the Facebook Ads tabs located on the right side of the screen in My Account window.

Change it from "Only my friends" to "No one" and click on the Save button to save the changes you’ve made. This will secure you from showing up your image in future ads for third-party apps and the websites.

· Now, browse down to the bottom of the page, and you need to change the settings for displaying your social actions in Facebook ads.
