About Facebook

Manage your profile, posting, photos and more with Facebook Applets that work with the world's largest social networking site.

Note: When connecting your Facebook account, IFTTT requests specific access in order to enable Applet functionality that you control. These requests include access to your personal posts, location, photos and friends. IFTTT does not store, share or make use of this data for any purpose other than to run the Applets that you personally create or enable.
