These settings can either prevent people from seeing or sharing your posts. If they don&#8217;t, you can change them or turn off profile lock. In some cases, a simple restart of your device will fix the issue. If that doesn&#8217;t work, follow these tips to fix this issue. Once you&#8217;ve made changes to your settings, you should be able to share your posts again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_privacy_settings_to_make_your_post_shareable\"><\/span>Change your privacy settings to make your post shareable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To change your privacy settings on Facebook, follow the instructions below. First, make sure that your post is publishable, otherwise it will not be shareable on Facebook. Next, tap the privacy button, and select &#8220;public&#8221; or &#8220;anyone&#8221; in the dropdown menu. After that, tap &#8220;Done&#8221; or the three dots in the top right corner of the post to save it. You can then share your post with your friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>You can also make your post shareable on Facebook by changing the default privacy settings. To do this, visit your profile page and click the three dots symbol located in the upper right corner of your profile. If your post has been marked as private, you can edit its visibility by clicking &#8220;Edit&#8221; in the popup window that appears. If you&#8217;ve posted anything you&#8217;d like people to see, change it to public. This setting will make your post publicly accessible to all Facebook users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_privacy_settings_to_make_your_post_visible\"><\/span>Change your privacy settings to make your post visible<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have posted something on Facebook, you may be wondering how to make it visible to everyone. The answer is to change your privacy settings. You can change how your posts are displayed to the public or to only your friends. Changing your privacy settings can be tricky, though. It may take some time to go through all the options. After you click &#8220;edit,&#8221; you&#8217;ll see dozens of categories.<\/p>\n<p>The default privacy setting is for all your posts. However, you can change this setting to limit the audience to select only friends or a curated list of people. You can also choose to make a specific post visible only to friends, which is best if your audience is small. This setting is very helpful for sharing pictures of your friends, though it can get a little tricky if your friends see them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Edit_your_privacy_settings_to_make_your_post_shareable\"><\/span>Edit your privacy settings to make your post shareable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you post a new article on Facebook, you must first edit your privacy settings. The first thing to do is to go to the privacy settings menu in the left-hand bar. Click on &#8216;Who can see your future posts&#8217; and set it to public. Though many people will opt to make their posts private, some businesses may want their posts to be visible to a larger audience. If you are not comfortable sharing personal information, you should avoid sharing any posts on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>The second thing to do is to edit your privacy settings. If your post is not yet publicly available, you must change it to &#8220;public&#8221; first. Once you&#8217;ve changed your settings, click &#8220;Publish.&#8221; Your post will then be shareable to anyone. If you are not sharing it with the public, you can only share it with your friends. Otherwise, it will remain private. Once you&#8217;ve done that, you can change your privacy settings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_off_profile_lock\"><\/span>Turn off profile lock<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whenever you want to share your posts on Facebook, but don&#8217;t want your friends to see them, you can turn off the &#8220;profile lock&#8221; feature. This feature restricts your postings to your friends only, and requires you to confirm your actions before you can share them. If you want your posts to be visible to everyone, you can turn off the profile lock by following these steps. You can also change the privacy settings on your profile from the Settings menu or Try It Now section.<\/p>\n<p>You can also disable comments on your posts by turning off the &#8220;comments&#8221; feature. You can also disable comments on your posts to limit who can comment on them. Depending on your settings, you can choose to enable this feature for both your personal and business profiles. If you don&#8217;t want others to see your personal posts, you can also disable comments on your group posts. This option will prevent others from commenting on your posts, but you should be aware that other people may still see the comments you post.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5up5v8V9thI\" width=\"463\" height=\"259\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Can&#8217;t People Share My Posts on Facebook?
