What is the name of Facebook's tool that guides users through privacy settings?

Facebook’s tool that guides users through privacy settings is called Privacy Checkup.

Facebook introduced Privacy Checkup in 2014 to make its privacy controls easier to find and understand. Rather than presenting every option as a dense settings page, the tool walks people through decisions about posts, profile information, blocked accounts, and connected apps.

Facebook expanded the tool in 2020 into several guided topics, including who can see what users share, how to secure an account, how people can find someone on Facebook, and how third-party apps use Facebook data. It can also direct users toward password changes and login alerts.

A common mix-up is confusing Privacy Checkup with Facebook’s broader Privacy Center. Privacy Center is an information hub covering privacy across Meta products, while Privacy Checkup is the interactive review tool. It also differs from the audience selector, which changes visibility for an individual post or profile detail.
