Social Chatter: Social Media Marketing Talk Show - Episode 226 The Facebook Clear History Tool In Facebook news, they have rolled out a the Facebook clear history tool worldwide. The Facebook clear history tool helps you control off-Facebook activity. You can access the clear history tool, which is also known as "off-Facebook activity" from the Facebook mobile app under Settings & Privacy > Settings > Your Facebook Information > Off-Facebook Activity. With the clear history tool, you can limit what information businesses and websites have access to about you. Why The Facebook Clear History Tool Matters For Your Business The bigger issue with the Facebook clear history tool is that it will have an impact on businesses who rely on retargeting to show you better quality Facebook Ads. We like to think of the off-Facebook activity feature like clearing your browser cookies. There are various levels. You can see which sites track you - last we checked, we had nearly 400 in our Facebook clear history tool. Clearing the history is temporary. If you want to further reduce retargeting capabilities, you can manage future activity under the "more options" menu. This limits how you can be retargeted. While it will impact businesses being able to access and use your data, data privacy has evolved and you should take better precautions on who can access your information, even if it's just basic information. That information can be pieced together to form a more clear picture about you. To prepare yourself for the Facebook clear history tool, first update your app from your devices AppStore. Then spend time going through who has access to your information on Facebook and consider blocking their website (or using a browser such as Apple's Safari, which is working to limit tracking on you as a user).

Easily Track and Share Instagram Stories Mentions In Instagram news, they have made it easier to share Instagram Stories mentions from other Instagram users. With Instagram Stories mentions, track Instagram users who mention you in their stories content. Why Sharing Instagram Stories Mentions Matters For Your Business With Instagram Stories mentions, you get a new "create mode" within Stories. You can view and feature @mentions from other Instagram users in just a few taps. As a business, you'll like the new Instagram Stories mentions tool, as it will make it easier for you to feature user-generated content (also known as UGC) in your Stories. If you've been struggling to figure out what to share in your Stories, you can now monitor accounts that talk about you on Instagram and share them. You can read the announcement about Instagram Stories Mentions here.
