How to change the settings on your Facebook profile applications

I have started reviewing the Facebook apps I give access to my account every three months or so. It’s handy to find the ones that I’m not using any more and it’s a better way of checking what permissions they require than when they first make the request.

Click on the Account and then Privacy Settings. Click on the ‘Edit your settings’ link at the bottom left-hand corner under the heading ‘Apps and Websites’. Click on the Edit Settings button in the ‘Apps you use’ section to reveal the full list.

Click on a row to show all the information about the app, the information it can take about you or your friends and the last time it was used.

Click on the Remove app link if you don’t want to use it any more. This isn’t an irreversible choice so you can go back to the app if you change your mind.
