How to increase Facebook timeline privacy ?

Facebook has now introduced its new feature, Facebook's timeline. It would be applied to all the Facebook accounts soon, whether you like it or not.

But I personally feels that it is good that Facebook has introduced this feature for all accounts, as it provides easy way to find Facebook activities like events, wall posts, etc. because it provides us and even others to search any Facebook profile's activity by date.

Why there is a need to Increase Facebook Timeline Privacy ?

The answer to this question may be this, that Facebook timeline shows all your Facebook activities done from the date of joining Facebook to the date your Facebook account is active and live. It would show all the activities of the Facebook profile categorized by date. So this may become the issue of losing the information, which you think must be kept private, over the Facebook and internet.

So there are the top 5 tips on how to increase Facebook timeline privacy. Go to the privacy settings and change the settings under different options.

1)  How You Connect, and Change Settings like :

2) How Tags Work, and Change the Settings like :

• Limit the Audience for Past Posts " and Click " Manage Past Post Visibility " and then " Limit Old Posts ".

This Option will Change All Your Past Posts to Friends Only, even if You Initially made them Public in Past when Posting.

So the concern of your privacy would be leaked by that comment on your friend's profile.
