Why Should You Remove Shortcuts from Facebook?

Removing unnecessary shortcuts isn't just about decluttering your screen. Here are a few reasons why it might benefit you:

Reduce Distractions

You can stay on track and avoid getting sidetracked.

Enhance User Experience

You can make Facebook easier to use and fun. 

Enhance Online Privacy

You can reduce the amount of data Facebook collects. 

Even if you are too careful about sharing personal information on Facebook, hackers and scammers can still dig deep down and collect your data for their own benefit. 

They can run impersonation attacks, sell your data to the highest bidder, or are involved in identity theft. 

And, protecting your personal information from online threats and malicious actors is important. 

Take a step further and use the PurePrivacy app to protect personal information against online intrusion, creepers, doxxers, and malicious actors.
