Question from today's mailbox.
I've -- somehow -- enabled something called Photo Syncing in Facebook and now all the images off my smartphone are being uploaded to Facebook.
HELP!!!!! What Do I do? How do I turn this off?
Photo Syncing is a weird new feature on Facebook that allows you to upload ALL your photos to Facebook. OK, only you can see them, but I still don't understand why anyone would want to upload every photos to Facebook.
Fortunately, it is easy to disable. Here's how:
iPhone or iPad:
- Fire up the Facebook app and go to your timeline
- Tap Photos
- At the bottom of the app, tap Synced
- Tap the gear icon and choose Turn off Photo Sync
- Tap Don't sync my photos
Android:
- Fire up the Facebook app and tap the top-left main menu
- Scroll to the bottom and choose Account > App Settings > Sync Photos
- Tap Don't sync my photos
That's it!
