In August, Facebook users revolted when they discovered what they thought was Facebook exposing their mobile phone numbers. Facebook
later clarified that wasn’t the case, but it was a good reminder to check all your privacy settings.
To remove your phone number or adjust your settings, view your profile then select Edit Profile > Contact Information. In the middle is a
“Phones” section where you can add or remove your phone number, and control who can see it from the drop-down menu beside it.
Once you receive Timelines, you’ll click “Update Info” under your cover photo, scroll to “Contact Info” and select your desired setting next to
“Phone.”
