Facebook restores ‘View as Public’ feature

San Francisco: To make it easy for people to manage their publicly visible information on Facebook, the social media giant is restoring the “View as Public” feature it had disabled last year owing to a major security flaw.
The feature helps users view their profile from the perspective of someone they aren’t friends with.
It also makes it easier for users to manage what information does or doesn’t get displayed on the public-facing version of their profiles, reports The Verge.
“Today, we’re making it easier for people to manage their publicly visible information on Facebook with two updates: (1) we’re bringing back the ‘View As Public’ feature and (2) we’re adding an ‘Edit Public Details’ button directly to profiles,” Facebook said in a tweet on Tuesday.
