Facebook app: restrict permissions - here's how to set it up

Facebook is all about data storage. Any data you share through Facebook, any pictures you upload to Facebook, and any texts you write in private chat belong to Facebook. If you want to restrict the rights of the Facebook app, we'll show you how.

How to restrict rights on the Facebook app?

Facebook is a data collection machine. The entire business model is designed for Facebook to collect data about you and then sell it to the highest bidder. The platform has no other purpose. However, you can restrict the data Facebook receives about you - for example, by limiting the app's permissions.

1. Start the Facebook app and tap the menu button at the top right on Android and at the bottom right on the iPhone.
2. Now go on to Settings and then to "Account Settings."
3. Select the "Apps" item here.
4. Now press the button "Signed in with Facebook" and select the app whose access you want to restrict.
5. Uncheck under "This app can..." all the things that the app should not be able to do.
6. Auch die Informationen, die bereits mit der App geteilt wurden, können hier von Ihnen abgewählt werden.

Wenn Sie nicht wollen, dass Facebook Daten über Sie sammelt, sollten Sie darüber nachdenken, sich von Facebook abzumelden und Ihren Account zu löschen.
