Have you changed your Facebook e-mail yet?

Today’s post is super short. I realized going through several of my friends’ profiles recently that perhaps many people didn’t notice or learn of a recent Facebook change.  One thing Facebook is infamous for is changing or adding features without telling users.  That’s the case with Facebook e-mail. They recently added  a default address which is [email protected]. So if your e-mail was [email protected] you are now [email protected].

It’s time to go to your settings and confirm what YOU want to be displayed in your profile.  Go to your Profile and under your photo, hit the About button. This will pull up all your information. Scroll down to the Contact Info and click Edit.  You’ll  see your assigned facebook e-mail address. And as Facebook likes to do, this is now your default contact e-mail address. You can keep it this way or click the dots to hide the facebook address and make your original e-mail what displays on your profile.

Anytime Facebook changes or adds features, it’s a good time to review your privacy and account settings. In fact, you should calendar a 10 minute session once per month just to make sure Facebook hasn’t reset to your setting to default and “everyone,” which is something they really seem to enjoy doing.
