The vast majority spend long hours on Facebook, but at the same time do not know how to use this social network at all. For example, here are three settings that may be useful to you, but not everyone knows about.
How to hide from certain people in a chat
On the chat panel, located on the right side of the Facebook page, you can see the avatars of all your friends, and those that are currently available are highlighted with a green marker. You can be seen in the same way in your friends' chats. But what if you don't want to communicate with one of them right now?
In this case, you can turn on the invisibility mode for certain people. To do this, open the chat settings menu (gear icon), and then select the "Advanced settings" item. A pop-up window will appear in front of you, shown in the screenshot above. Enter the names of people in the top field who shouldn't see you in the chat.
How to post a message to your favorites
Usually, users don't bother too much with categorizing their many friends and selectively publishing their posts. Therefore, all their photosets and emotional outpourings flow in one continuous ribbon and are visible to absolutely all subscribers. But if, before publishing the next post, you still have a thought like “It’s better not to show this to my boss” or “Masha, if she finds out, she will kill”, then the following trick will help you.
Before clicking on the "Publish" button, take a look at the "Shared to all" menu on the left. Open it and go to the "Additional settings" submenu, where you should click the "User settings" button. After that, a window will appear in which you can enter the name of your Masha and thereby exclude her from the number of readers of this post.
Updating marital status without unnecessary witnesses
We live in a time when people meet, get married and disperse right on social networks. If you are not too eager to devote the entire world community to the intricacies of your amorous affairs, then remember the following advice.
When you next change your marital status, do not be too lazy to look into the "Visibility settings" drop-down menu located on the same page and select the "Only me" item. By doing so, you will save yourself the hassle of accepting rave congratulations in the event of marriage or fake condolences in the event of a breakup.
