And if you want to try it too, but the interface seems a little complicated and incomprehensible to you, we will tell you how to use Facebook.
Facebook is ...
Let’s get started with what Facebook is all about. This is a global social network native to America. It is she who is the progenitor of the VKontakte network, known in Russia and the nearest countries, which appeared later. And its creator, Pavel Durov, adopted the idea from the founder of Facebook , Mark Zuckerberg.
Invented, Facebook was a regular student at Harvard University in 2004 . How to use Facebook, no one knew yet. And at first it served as a means of communication between different students of this, and later other universities. And only after Facebook became very popular, it was decided to open it to the whole world. It happened in 2008. At the same time, the Russian-speaking population of the planet learned about how to use Facebook.
How to register
Registration in a social network does not take much time and is absolutely free. To create a Facebook page, it’s enough to have a working email address and preferably a mobile phone number.
To register, you need to go to the main page of the site, select the appropriate section and reliably fill in the submitted fields of the questionnaire. It should be indicated:
- name and surname;
- E-mail address;
- password;
- Your gender;
- date of birth.
Then a special letter should come to the mailbox. It is necessary to open it and confirm the registration. Everything, you coped with the main task. Now you are part of another social network.
Fill in information about yourself
In order for your friends, acquaintances, colleagues, classmates and relatives to be able to quickly find you, you need to enter information about yourself most fully and reliably. You can specify your name in Russian and English. Two options will allow you to quickly find you in the search. Information about where you study or work is also important, because thanks to this you will be able to find most of your surroundings.
If the information is filled in correctly, the system will automatically filter users and offer you to add some of them to your friends. They are selected on the basis of the similarity of the data presented: a single educational institution or place of work, as well as the number of common friends.
One of the most important steps is to add an avatar. It is from photographs that they first of all recognize and distinguish you from numerous namesakes.
If you want to provide as much information about yourself as possible, for example, to find new mates or to meet the opposite sex, this can also be easily done. Add the following data:
- place of residence;
- marital status;
- political preferences;
- religion;
- Favorite quotes, movies and books, etc.
How to use
After all the information in your profile is filled in, you can go to the operational part and master the principle of operation of this social network. Understanding how to use Facebook is easy. Over time, each action will work out automatically, and the interface will become painfully familiar, you will navigate with your eyes closed. But if you are an inexperienced user, you need to know the general plan of action.
How to write a message on Facebook:
- go to the "Friends" tab and from the proposed list select the desired recipient;
- go to the page of the person you want to write, and click on the "Message" at the top right (just below the avatar);
- in the dialog that appears, you can write everything you need and press the Enter key to send.
Another important aspect that you need to learn is the privacy of your profile. You need to go to the page settings and select the privacy column. There, opposite the necessary interface elements (block of photos, friends, videos, etc.) you need to tick off. And then these sections will be inaccessible to unauthorized users.
