MENLO PARK, Calif. — Meta announced today it is testing a redesigned privacy dashboard for Facebook users. This new tool aims to make managing privacy settings simpler and more intuitive.
The updated dashboard centralizes key privacy controls into one location. Users can find settings related to their posts, profile information, and data sharing more easily. Meta says the goal is to give people clearer choices about their information.
Currently, the test involves a limited group of Facebook users globally. These testers will use the new dashboard interface. Meta will gather feedback from these users during the trial period. The company plans to refine the tool before any potential wider release.
The redesigned dashboard groups settings into clearer categories. Users can quickly see who can view their posts or access personal details like their email address. Options for managing ad preferences and app permissions are also included. Meta stated this reflects its ongoing effort to improve user control.
Facebook’s privacy settings have often been criticized as complex and hard to navigate. This new dashboard attempts to address those concerns directly. Making privacy management easier is a key focus for the company.
Meta emphasized user feedback is crucial for this development phase. The test will help identify any usability issues or needed improvements. The company did not provide a specific timeline for a full public launch. Availability depends on the test results and further development work.
Meta is committed to building tools that empower people. This privacy dashboard test is part of that broader commitment. The company continues investing in features that put users in control of their experience. Meta believes transparency and control are fundamental.
