Did you know that every time you LIKE another page or change your Relationship Status, it appears on your Facebook Wall and goes out to all your Facebook Friends via their News Feed?

Yes, and it can be very annoying, not to mention a little invasive. I found a way to stop these posts being seen by your Friends.

If you want to disable these recent activity posts appearing on your Friends news feeds, then follow these steps:-

HIDE “RELATIONSHIP STATUS” ACTIVITY

To disable the recent activity posts and prevent people from seeing a Recent Activity story about a profile change you make to your relationship status, follow these steps:-

1. Login to your Personal Profile;
2. Account > Privacy Settings > “Sharing on Facebook” click on “Customize Settings”;
3. Under the “Things I Share” click on the dropdown next to “Relationships” and select “Customize” and then “Make this visible to” and select “Only Me” from the drop dropdown list the “Save Setting”. You will still be able to view a Recent Activity story about your relationship change, but no one else will.

HIDE “LIKES, ACTIVITES AND OTHER CONNECTIONS” ACTIVITY POSTS

To stop automatic posting to your Wall each time you “LIKE” a Page or other activities and prevent people from seeing a Recent Activity story about your likes, activities and other connections, follow these steps: –

1. Login to your Personal Profile;
2. Account > Privacy Settings > “Connecting on Facebook” click on “View Settings”;
3. In the dropdown box next to “See your likes, activities and other connections” select “Custom” and then in the “Make this visible to” select “Only Me” from the dropdown list then “Save Setting”. Now only you will be able to view your likes and activities, no one else.

HIDE “ARE NOW FRIENDS” ACTIVITY POSTS
To stop automatic posting to your Wall each time you be-”Friend” someone and prevent people from seeing a Recent Activity story about who your Friends are, follow these steps: –

1. Login to your Personal Profile;
2. Account > Privacy Settings > “Connecting on Facebook” click on “View Settings”;
3. In the dropdown box next to “See your friend list” select “Custom” and then in the “Make this visible to” select “Only Me” from the dropdown list then “Save Setting”. Now only you will be able to view your likes and activities, no one else.
