You can make yourself not searchable on Facebook by adjusting your privacy settings. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Tap on the “Settings” option in the top right corner of your Facebook app. It looks like three horizontal lines.
2. Scroll down until you find the “Settings & Privacy” section and tap on it.
3. From the expanded menu, tap on “Settings”.
4. In the “Privacy” section, tap on “Privacy Settings”.
5. Scroll down until you find the “Who can look you up?” section and tap on it.
6. In this section, you’ll find various options related to how people can find you on Facebook. To prevent search engines outside of Facebook from linking directly to your profile, tap on the “Edit” button next to “Do you want search engines outside of Facebook to link to your profile?”.
7. You will then see a toggle switch. By default, it is turned on, allowing search engines to link to your profile. To make yourself not searchable on search engines, simply toggle the switch to turn it off.
8. Once you’ve turned off the switch, search engines will no longer link directly to your Facebook profile. However, it’s important to note that this doesn’t guarantee complete privacy, as your profile may still be visible to people who have direct access to it or are friends with you on Facebook.
By following these steps, you can control whether search engines can link directly to your Facebook profile or not. This can help you maintain a level of privacy and control over who can find you on the platform.
Please keep in mind that Facebook’s privacy settings may change over time, so it’s always a good idea to periodically review and adjust your settings to ensure they align with your desired level of privacy.
