    When I upload photos or updates to Facebook, the default privacy setting is "only me".

    First, I would strongly suggest filing out this report to
    file a privacy issue with Facebook    .

    Windows Phone should use the privacy settings set on Facebook. Some steps to try to get this account back in a good state…

    • Go to the
      Facebook Privacy Settings page      .
    • Toggle from “Friends” to “Custom” to “Public” and back again to “Friends”. The simple action of toggling the privacy settings may reset the inheritance. This may take several times for the specific settings to stick from browser and then finally sync to
      the phone.
    • After each change, go to Settings > Email+Accounts, tap-and-hold Facebook and tap Sync.
    Or, if that doesn’t work try this…

    • Go to Facebook.com and log in from your PC.
    • On the top-right of the page, click the downward arrow next to Home and click Account Settings.
    • Click Security. Next to Secure Browsing, click Edit and deselect “Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possible”.Note: this is just temporary, you can change it back after you complete the rest of the steps below.
    • Go to the Windows Phone on Facebook page:
      http://apps.facebook.com/7933375107/?ref=ts      . Note: it will appear like an empty page, but refresh it a number of times until…
    • When you go to http://facebook.com you see the “Windows Phone” app on the left-hand sidebar under APPS.
    • Click the pencil icon next to “Windows Phone” and click Edit Settings. Scroll down to “Posts on your behalf” and ensure it’s set appropriately.

    OR, try this:


    Let us know if this works or not.

    Facebook update - Privacy Settinh

    This doesn't seem to be correct. My Facebook Default Privacy settings are public, yet when I post a status update using my phone, the status update is tagged as "Your Friends".
