When you swap phone numbers with other people ( and if your on Facebook ) they pop up on the people you may know section .... So be careful if your one of the people that are in high profile jobs and are on Facebook

Don't swap phone numbers unless the people are genuinely going to meet, or you know them already and are safe to be around them.

You need two phones. One for this and one for that. And I ain't kidding.

I assume that would only happen if you put your phone number on FB?

.... We have found that out as well ..... It's ok if your open and your friends know what you do but if your being discreet it doesn't work not to give to much away but now we use 2 phones

I'm sure I read somewhere that Facebook (might be the app) reads your internet history and uses that to suggest adverts/ pages. So if you go on Fab in the same browser as Facebook don't be surprised what pops up.

It could also be suggesting contacts via your email address if you use the same email for Fab and Facebook. Or via contacts in your phone/ contacts in your email app.

Yes,I know that Windows,Microsoft,Facebook,Whatsapp et al use your information to bring you closer together with people you may know. I changed my background on one laptop and it changed on another. I wanted different pictures on each one.

No, if you've registered your mobile with the account anyone can search and find you

Where men are men, and sheep are nervous...!

Use KIK or get a PAYG phone that you keep only for swinging and don't activate Facebook on that phone..
