Facebook Privacy "Public" can see Wall Photos?!

OnAndUp

Hi everyone!

Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem?

I have been checking over my privacy settings on Facebook I personally find that quite regularly they change when Facebook updates things without me changing anything which I find dodgy and think they should let you know!

I have various "Friends!" who can / can't see some of my photo albums.

I have been using "View As" to see how it looks to them but for some reason they can all see my "Wall Photos" despite me customising the settings to just some people. When I click on "View As- Public" you can still see them then!

Not happy about this.....for the Wall Photos I can't see a privacy settings for the Album as a whole just settings on the individual photos. I have even tried changing them all to "only me" but everyone inc Public can still see them?

Am I missing something here? Other than deleting is there any way to change this?

Also can you move photos to another Album I can't seem to find an option for that?

Thanks!

There is no such thing as privacy on Facebook. The sooner people learn and realise that, the better.

If you don't want world and dog to see them, put them on some online storage space where you can properly limit access.

Still the same.......anyone else got any other thoughts?

Thanks!

It seems to me that no sooner have you buttoned down your profile then FB change a setting and its not as private as you thought . I have had 3 'foreign' men wanting to add me as a friend , they arent friends of friends , my profile is suppose to be private , so where did they 'find ' me ( speaking to others , I am not the only one it has happened to )

I have just got a new phone , linked it to FB and low and behold I have loads of new contacts in my email and phone numbers , I am sure my contacts arent aware their phone numbers are being passed around

I have noticed if you go to 'find friends' there are peoples name that are suggested to you as 'people you may know'

But.... I have no friends in common with these suggested names and do not know the names. So why on earth is facebook suggesting them as someone I may know?

Thanks for you replies!

These are the sort of things that bug me too!

Mainly that "It seems to me that no sooner have you buttoned down your profile then FB change a setting and its not as private as you thought"

It's a constant cat-and-mouse game trying to keep on top of your FB privacy settings, as they keep moving things automatically to be shared with the whole word.

The only winning move is not to play.
