Privacy Checkup Is Now Rolling Out

By Paddy Underwood, Product Manager

Today, we’re starting to roll out Privacy Checkup, which helps you review and control who you’re sharing with.

We know you come to Facebook to connect with friends, not with us. But we also know how important it is to be in control of what you share and who you share with.

You’ll see the option to take Privacy Checkup when you visit Facebook in the coming days. Click “Let’s Do It!” to do the Checkup; it should only take a minute or two.
