All of us on Facebook have a "friend" who check out our posts, or who writes to us as soon as we access the site or are online on Messenger. Or, maybe, we want someone not to see what we do without blocking it or taking it away from friends to avoid making a "bad impression". It can be done, because the famous social network from this point of view is very careful, let's see how.
Prevent you from seeing a new post
If you want to publish a post, and you don't want anyone to see it, after writing it and before clicking on "publish" press the button on the side (where it says "friends", Or" friends of friends ", it depends on your privacy) and click on"personalized". Here under "do not share with”Write the name of your friend and then on "save I modified it". Now you can publish the post and the preference will be remembered for the next posts.
Prevent from viewing a past post
Facebook allows you to hide posts already published. To do this, click on dart at the top right of the post. Click on "edit post”And follow the same procedure as if you were to create a new post and limit its display.
Hide the “online” status in the chat
If you want to prevent them from knowing when you are online, click on the gear of the chat and then on "Advanced settings". Here we can choose to disable chat for individuals, so that they don't see us connected, or turn it off for all but certain people. You can too disable for all.
