The settings you need to update if you don't want Facebook to watch and track your phone activity, when you are not on their app.

I recently discovered that unless you change a few settings, Facebook can watch your phone activity, even when you are not using their app. 

Think about it, do you check your bank account, email, shopping, or other social media? Everything is being watched and used against you. 

Now I don’t know the real science of how they use the information (for Marketing purposes, is my guess). Still, knowing that one social media app can watch every move to know everything at all times unless you change a few settings is surprising.

How to change your settings:

• From your phone, open your Facebook app.
• Press the three stacked bars in either the top or bottom right corner. 
• Scroll until you see “Settings & Privacy” and click on it.
• Now click “Settings.”
• Under “Your Facebook Information,” about four sections down, click Off-Facebook Activity.

Just above the line, you will see all the apps they tracked even while you were off of Facebook.

• Click “Clear History” to clear out your history.
• Click the “Clear History” blue bar toward the bottom of your screen.
• Now to stop them from tracking what you do on your phone, click “More Options.”
• A little window appears at the bottom; click “Manage Future Activity.”
• Click the “Manage Future Activity” light blue bar toward the bottom of the screen.
• Under “Future Off-Facebook Activity,” toggle the button to Off.
