Facebook is widely used social medium of late. Almost everyone who has visited internet, has a Facebook account. Notwithstanding these huge popularity, there is many tips and tricks of Facebook not known to many people. Here we are listing a few of such tips and tricks whichwill make your Facebook use more user friendly and fun. So let’s go through few latestFacebook Tricks of 2015.

1. HOW TO MAKE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE UNCLICKABLE

We all restrict the audience of photos/ albums we share, the default privacy settings of profile picture is ‘public’ and hence can be viewed/ saved by anyone.  To tide over the problem, you have to change the setting as below:-

• Go to your own profile by clicking your name.
• Go to photos tab.
• Go to Albums
• Select profile picture album.

• Click your profile photo and click edit.
• In the privacy setting click only me.
• Click done editing and now your profile picture is unclickable.

2. HIDE YOUR ‘ONLINE’ STATUS ON FACEBOOK CHAT

When FB Chat was integrated with Facebook, it became difficult to hide our online status from people. Only option earlier was to turnoff chat completely. But recently, FB has added this feature by which you can hide your status from people you want. Here is how to do it.

• Click on settings and then advance settings.

• In the advance setting you get two important options i.e. hide chat from some friends and turn on chat from selected friends. Choose as per your requirement. And click save.

3. ALLOW PEOPLE TO FOLLOW YOU AND NOT FRIEND YOU

The ‘follow’ feature is one of the very less used feature of Facebook. The difference between follow and friends is : When someone is your friends, both of you follow each other and can see all posts. However, when you follow someone , you can see only his public posts. Its very useful when you want someone to see only few of your posts.
To allow public to follow you, go to settings and then followers. Change setting of who can follow you to Everybody and then anyone can follow you.

Now your profile has another option for public, i.e. follow apart from add friend.

We all have a friend who keeps posting irritating posts on Facebook and social etiquette prevent us from telling him that his posts are bore. Unfriend him on Facebook may affect our real life relations also. Thankfully, Facebook has a way out, simply unfollow him before unfriend him.

To do this simply go to your friend’s profile and uncheck the ‘following ‘, and you are done, none of his posts will ever come to your timeline.

2. Don’t argue: you don’t like a post, so what? ignore it. You can never win an argument on Facebook, but it will make other person feel bad.
3. Don’t say anything stupid: so you feel strongly about any festival, religions, person etc, but Don’t post anything stupid or negative. keep your posts simple.

5. Don’t befriend actual enemy: we avoid so many people in real life but befriend him on Facebook. so avoid those people who you think could be your enemy in family, social circle or office colleague.
