Sharing on a Friend's Timeline

Sharing on a Friend's Timeline

To share something on a Friend's Timeline, simply use the Publisher located on that Friend's Profile page. Note that you cannot control privacy settings for the posts you create on your Friends' Timelines. For this reason, you should think carefully before posting anything that might be considered inappropriate or embarrassing. If you don't want other people to see your post, just send it as a message.
  • To share something on a Friend's Timeline, navigate to the desired Profile page, type your message in the Publisher, then click Post.
