    Facebook for Seniors

    Stay in touch with family.

    Friends only

    Settings → Privacy → “Who can see future posts” → Friends. Strangers can't see anything.

    Add family

    Search their name. Tap Add Friend. They confirm. You see their posts.

    Watch out for fake friends

    If “a friend” sends weird messages, the account is hacked. Don't click links.

    Common scams

    • “You won a prize”
    • Cheap brand-name shopping ads
    • Romance scams in messages
    • Crypto investments

    Bigger text

    Settings → Accessibility. Or zoom in your phone display.

    Family groups

    Make a private group with all family. Photo and update sharing without strangers.

    Quick Tip: 30 minutes daily max. Beyond that, studies show mood drops.
