First-day phone setup

What it's for

Facebook brings friends, communities, Marketplace, reels, and creative sharing tools into one social app. On a new phone, it gives you a place to catch up with people, explore hobbies, and decide how you present yourself and share your own moments.

Get the app

After it installs: three settings

1. 01Review your post audience

   Facebook lets you choose who sees your posts. Review those choices before sharing personal moments so your intended audience matches the way you want to use the app.

   Look in the app's Settings for post audience
2. 02Personalize your everyday Feed

   Feed personalization helps you see more of what you like and less of what you do not, making it a useful first step for everyday browsing.

   Look in the app's Settings for Feed preferences
3. 03Choose your profile presentation

   Your profile helps determine how you show up to other people. Review its customization choices so the information you present fits how you want to connect.

   Look in the app's Settings for profile customization

Common problem

Can't find a feature? First check that you are using the official Facebook app from Google Play, then look through the relevant area of the app. Some features may not be available in your country or region, so a tool another person uses may not appear for you.
