Facebook’s New Privacy Checkup Tool Reviews Your Settings In 3 Steps

In the next few days, you’ll see a Privacy Checkup popup on Facebook when you log in. The tool will help you audit your privacy settings and control who you’re sharing with on the social network.

Privacy Checkup will also be available under the padlock icon > Privacy Checkup.
