The most effective way to check your privacy settings is to change the desktop website, unfortunately, these settings are not accessible from the Facebook application. Here's what to do:
1. First log in to your account and click the lock icon in the upper right corner. This icon will bring up a drop down menu with a handful of privacy settings. Click "Who can see my stuff?" To see your current settings for your messages. For more privacy, choose "Friends" option for future positions. There is also a way to change the settings of your previous messages, which will be explained in a later step.
2. Once you've done that your future posts are set to "friends", you'll want to click on "Who can contact me?"
