Can I change the audience for something I share after I publish it?

Yes you can use the audience selector to change who can see any post you make after you publish it.

Remember: people you share with can always share your information with others.

So if you change the audience after you publish something this can't prevent someone who already saw it from sharing it.

Also remember that unless your post is set to Only Me then anyone tagged (and potentially their friends) may see it too.

What's the difference between Everyone and Public?

We changed Everyone to Public to make it even more clear who you're sharing with when you select this audience.

The setting still means the anyone on the internet can view this content and any of your past Everyone posts are still visible to the same audience.

Now you can decide if the posts you're tagged in appear on your profile. To turn on Profile Review, go to the "How Tags Work" section of your privacy settings. Posts you choose not to include on your profile may still appear elsewhere on Facebook. Learn more about tagging.

Choose who you share with

Privacy controls have moved right next to things you share, so it's clear who sees your stuff. You can pick and choose who sees what - like share your hometown with friends, but only let family see your phone number.

Changed your mind? No problem

Have you ever shared something with all your friends, then later wished you could limit who could see it? Now you can go back and change the audience for something after you post it.
