How to Check Which Apps Has Access to Your Facebook Account?

 

To check and manage which apps have access to your Facebook account, you can follow these steps:

Using a Web Browser (Desktop):

1. Log into Your Facebook Account:

   • Open your preferred web browser and visit the Facebook website (https://www.facebook.com/).
   • Log in to your Facebook account if you're not already logged in.

2. Access Your Settings:

   • Click on the downward-facing arrow at the top-right corner of the Facebook page to open a dropdown menu.
   • From the dropdown menu, select "Settings & Privacy," and then click on "Settings."

3. Navigate to Apps and Websites:

   • In the left-hand menu, click on "Apps and Websites."

4. Review and Manage Apps:

   • In the "Apps, Websites, and Games" section, you'll see a list of apps and websites that are connected to your Facebook account.
   • Review the list to see which apps have access to your account.
   • To remove an app's access, click the "View and edit" link next to the app's name. Then, click the "Remove" button to revoke the app's access.

Using the Facebook Mobile App (Mobile):

1. Open the Facebook App:

   • Open the Facebook mobile app on your device.

2. Access Settings & Privacy:

   • Tap on the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu) at the top-right corner of the app to open the menu.

3. Navigate to Settings & Privacy:

   • Scroll down and tap on "Settings & Privacy."

4. Access Settings:

   • Tap on "Settings."

5. Manage Apps and Websites:

   • Under the "Security" section, tap on "Apps and Websites."

6. Review and Manage Apps:

   • Here, you'll find a list of apps and websites that have access to your Facebook account.
   • Tap on an app to see the permissions it has. To remove an app's access, tap on the app and then tap "Remove."

Additional Tips:

• Regularly Review Access: Periodically review the list of apps and websites connected to your Facebook account to ensure you're aware of the access granted.

• Use App-Specific Passwords: When possible, use app-specific passwords instead of sharing your main Facebook password with third-party apps.

• Be Selective: Only grant access to apps and websites from trusted sources. Avoid connecting your Facebook account to suspicious or unknown apps.

• Check App Permissions: When granting access to an app, review the permissions it's requesting. Only give access to the information necessary for the app's functionality.

Always ensure you're accessing your Facebook settings through official Facebook channels to prevent falling victim to phishing attempts. The instructions provided are based on the information available up to my last knowledge update in September 2021, and the interface may have changed since then.
