The new settings are grouped in a menu called Off-Facebook Activity, and they reveal details about data sent to the company over the previous six months.

To access the Off-Facebook Activity settings using a computer browser: Click the question mark icon in the top right of the Facebook home page > Privacy Shortcuts > View or clear your Off-Facebook activity > Manage Your Off-Facebook Activity. (To get here using the app, tap the three buttons in the top right of the Off-Facebook Activity screen.)
