The Facebook website seen through a magnifying glass



Facebook (stylized as Facebook) is an American online and based in , and a flagship service of the namesake company It was founded by , along with fellow students and roommates , , , and .


The founders of Facebook initially limited membership to Harvard students. Membership was expanded to , , and before being expanded to the rest of the , , and , then various other universities, and lastly high school students. Since 2006, anyone who claims to be at least 13 years old has been allowed to become a registered user of Facebook, though this may vary depending on local laws. The name comes from the directories often given to American university students.


Facebook can be accessed from devices with connectivity, such as , and . After registering, users can create a profile revealing information about themselves. They can post text, photos and multimedia which is shared with any other users that have agreed to be their , or, with a different , with any reader. Users can also use various embedded apps, join common-interest groups, buy and sell items or services on Marketplace, and receive notifications of their Facebook friends' activities and activities of Facebook pages they follow. Facebook claimed that it had 2.74 billion monthly active users as of September 2020,and it was the most downloaded mobile app of the 2010s globally.


Facebook allows search engines like Google to index your profile and publicly available information. But if you don’t want people to be able to look up your social profile outside of Facebook, you can choose to delist it. Here’s how.


First, head over to using your Windows 10, Mac, or Linux desktop browser and sign in to your account.


Next, click the arrow in the top-right corner of the social network to reveal a dropdown menu, then select “Settings & Privacy.”


Open settings on Facebook website



Navigate to “Settings.”


Select Settings option on Facebook website



Select “Privacy” from the column on the left.


Visit Privacy settings on Facebook



Scroll down toward the bottom of the page, and under the “How people can find and contact you” section, you’ll find an option called “Do you want search engines outside of Facebook to link to your Profile?”


Visit option to delist Facebook profile from search engine



Click the blue “Edit” button located beside that option.


Edit search engine setting on Facebook



Uncheck the box next to “Allow search engines outside of Facebook to link to your Profile.”


Uncheck search engine setting on Facebook



In the following pop-up message, click “Turn Off.”


Click the Turn Off button to Block Search Engine Linking on Facebook



Finally, select the “Close” option to save your new preference.


Click the Close button to save search engine setting on Facebook



That’s it. Now, Facebook will prevent search engines outside of the social network from linking your profile in their results.


Note:This setting will take at least a few weeks to come into effect. Even after Facebook processes the request on its end, your information and profile link will continue to exist in search engines’ cache and will surface in search results. Once Facebook relays the updated preference to sites such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing, they will take some additional time to reflect the changes.
In addition, while search engines will no longer be able to directly link your profile in results, they can crawl your publicly available information, like posts and your full name. Due to this loophole, anyone with the right keywords can still locate your Facebook profile through search engines.
To further reduce your digital footprint, you can limit your posts’ visibility and lock down your Facebook account.
