Method #1: Using Settings
The first method is a bit complex, but it will get you where you need to be. This tutorial is written with the Android Facebook app, and some steps might differ a bit for iPhones. So hang on to your horses, and let’s go on this journey together.
Step #1: Log In to Your Account
Log in to your account from your Facebook mobile app.
Step #2: Go to the Menu
On your Android Facebook app, you will find different icons under Facebook’s logo on the top of the screen. Click on the menu icon. It should be the last icon on the right, but it depends on your app update.
Step #3: Find Search and Privacy Tab
This is a menu where you will find all extra details like shortcuts, settings, and recent activity, among other things. Scroll down to the bottom, and just above the “Log Out” button, you will see a tab “Settings & Privacy”.
Step #4: Go to Settings
Tapping on the Settings & Privacy tab will open a drop-down list. Click on the “Settings” tab on the list.
We realize that it seems like a maze, but hang on because we are almost there.
Step #5: Go to Access Your Information
You will see several different categories of settings here.
In the set of options under “Your Information,” you will see “Access Your Information”. Tap on it.
Step #6: Go to Personal Information
