Recently, I did an update of my facebook app and discovered a new feature being turned on unintended. The new feature allows the photos taken with the iphone to be synced to your facebook photo album automatically! While photos remained supposedly private till you decide to make it public online, you'd never know what happens if there is a breach someday.....
So after googling, here's the steps to disable the feature on iphone:
iPhone or iPad
- Open the Facebook app and go to your timeline
- Tap Photos
- At the bottom, tap Synced
- Tap the gear icon
and choose Turn off Photo Sync - Tap Don't sync my photos
If you are using Android phone, the step is different from above:
Android
- Open the Facebook app and tap the top left main menu in your sidebar
- Scroll to the bottom and select Account > App Settings > Sync Photos
- Choose Don't sync my photos
