FAQs

Why is my Facebook feed full of ads?

Advertisements that are tailored to the websites or applications that you visit outside of Facebook

That practise is known as “retargeting” in the advertising industry. Because Facebook permits advertisers to “retarget” users who have visited the advertiser’s website or app outside of Facebook, you may see an increased number of advertisements in your news feed as a result of this feature.

Why does my FB feed have so many ads?

The following factors will determine the advertisements you see on your Facebook profile: The information that you make public on Facebook (ex: pages you like) Details about you that can be found on your Facebook account (ex: your age, your gender, your location, the devices you use to access Facebook) Your behaviour on third-party websites and applications outside of Facebook.

How do I clean up my Facebook feed?

To view your activity record on the apps for Android and iOS, tap your avatar in the upper left corner of the screen, then tap the three dots in the upper right corner.
