melodicmizery Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 a few years ago facebook use to automatically post each trophy you earned on playstation if you had that option enabled. for some reason, maybe timeline flooding, they disabled it a few years back. today i noticed everytime i start blood waves, it says on fb ive started the game, also every trophy ive earned so far has been posted on my fb is this happening to anyone else or just me? im wondering if its just this game or all games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaisyVilla102 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 @melodicmizery lol oops! I changed mine to "only me" a long time ago, so I just make 'em "public" or whatever afterwards if I want to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Bobs_Beeper Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I've had it set up on my Facebook for those notifications to be seen by "only me" since enabling it so I wouldn't bug anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizio55 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Hey guys, How do you set the posts to be visibile only by yourself? Is this done from Facebook or from your PS4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I... don't know. The posts to facebook are coming from "PlayStation Network", but I can't find that app in my facebook settings anymore. Even the PS4 tells you to look there*, but I'm having no luck. *From the PS4: Settings > Sharing and Broadcasts > Link with Other Services > Facebook > Publish Settings > Publish to this Facebook audience [comes from the facebook settings] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melodicmizery Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) i also cant find the app in my faebook anymore (actually almost any app i had isnt showing now exept discuss) i couldnt find it in my ps4 settings either. maybe it is in the ps3 settings. i looked at my fb and it looks like in my activity log its posted trophies over the years, but never displayed them to me, or anyone else. they were hidden. odd Edited June 27, 2019 by melodicmizery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought, I remembered that way back when it still used to post all your stuff on facebook I had set the PlayStation Network app to be only visible by me, but I can't find it anymore and now the posts are public. So strange, I might have to cut the link between my PS4 and FB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizio55 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 So apparently you have to go to Settings > Apps and Websites; From there you scroll to the bottom and change the privacy settings for "Old Versions of Facebook for Mobile" (This is because apparently PSN uses an old API version, at least according to the source I read this from) to Only Me or whatever you prefer. I haven't tested it yet since it's quite late for me but I'll update tomorrow once I have the chance to boot up my PS4. If anyone can test it out before I do please report back your findings!

I tried it, and it didn't work--immediately, anyway. I'll leave it set to public for a day or two and see if just takes a while to take effect.

Instead of going to Sharing and Broadcasts you have to go to Account Management, then you follow the same steps as above but you can set the information about trophies and activity to be only visible by you when posted on Facebook.

I get the same results, though: Settings > Account Management > Link with Other Services > Facebook > Publish Settings > Publish to this Facebook audience [still tells me this comes from the facebook settings] It's still at "Only Me", and I can't change it from there, either. ? I actually prefer it to be "Only Me"; it just bugs me that I can't figure how to change it to something else if I wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizio55 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Mh, that's really strange. Maybe try unlinking and linking again the FB account and see if that changes anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamescush147 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Oh. So not just me. Thought I had turned something on and I've been missing from my FB page for a week. Found it full of trophies. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
