2 Ways to Make Your Phone Number Private on Facebook

• Hiding your phone number on Facebook is different than removing a phone number entirely.
• In the mobile app, tap "See Your About Info" on your profile, tap "Edit" next to "Contact info," then select "Only Me" next to your phone number.
• On a computer, click the "About" tab on your profile, click the icon to the right of your phone number, then choose "Only Me."

Using the Facebook App

Open the Facebook app on your Android, iPhone, or iPad. It's the white "F" on a blue background icon. If you're logged in, doing so will open your News Feed. If you aren't already logged into Facebook, type in your email address (or phone number) and password and tap Log In.

Tap ☰. It's in either the bottom right corner of the screen (iPhone) or the top right corner of the screen (Android).

Tap your name. You should see it at the top of the menu here. Doing so will take you to your profile page.

Tap See Your About Info. You may have to scroll down if you don't see this.

Scroll down and tap Edit next to the "Contact Info" heading. This section's location will vary based on the information you have on your Facebook page, but it should be above the "Basic Info" box.

Tap the menu next to your phone number. The icon for the menu varies depending on your phone number's current privacy level. For example, if your phone number is public, you'll see a globe here.

Select Only me from the drop-down menu. This option is near the bottom of the pop-out menu here. Setting your phone number to Only me keeps it on your profile so you can continue to use Facebook Messenger, but only you will be able to view it.

Using the Facebook Website

Open https://www.facebook.com. If you're logged into Facebook, doing so will open your News Feed. If you aren't logged into Facebook, enter your email address (or phone number) into the top right corner of the screen and click Log In.

Click your profile picture at the top-right corner. A menu will expand.

Click your name. This takes you to your profile.

Click the About tab. It's located under your Cover Photo.

Click icon next to your phone number. The icon will be different depending on the current audience. For example, if your phone number is public, you'll see a globe here. A menu with different audience options will expand.

Select Only me to make your phone number private. Your phone number will no longer be visible to any on Facebook but you.
