How To Remove A Facebook Application's Access To Your Profile









When you want to use an Application in Facebook like games and such, you have to grant access and permissions to that application. Sometimes, it only asks for your personal information but there are also times when it will ask you for your email address and worse, these applications sometimes ask for permission to post on your wall or on your friends' wall. That makes me very uncomfortable.

Granting access to applications can potentially lead to a very spammy problem. If you see those status updates like -
OMG!! I literally did this and that when I saw this and that! OMG! OMG! OMG!!

...it's most likely caused by those applications.

Now how do we revoke access from those pesky applications? Simple.

Log-in to your Facebook account and go to this page:


http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications


You'll get this screen:

On the screen above, click on the 'X' button on the right that corresponds to the App you want to remove.

Then click on Remove.


...and you're done.

So, have you ever had a problem with those spammy Facebook apps?
