Facebook launches Security Checkup for Android devices

Starting Tuesday, December 8, users can use Facebook's new tool Security Checkup on Android devices to review and add more security to their accounts, Product Manager Melissa Luu-Van said in the company's blog post.

“Providing easy access to security controls on Android is important to us since most people connecting to Facebook on a mobile device are using Android. Creating an iOS version will be next,” she said.

In only a few minutes, Security Checkup helps users log out of Facebook from browsers and devices where they haven't used Facebook in a while, turn on Login Alerts in case someone else tries to log into their account from a new computer or phone, and protect your password.

“We initially made Security Checkup available on desktop this summer and it quickly caught on with people across our global platform.

People told us the tool was helpful and made it easy to add extra protections for their Facebook accounts. So, we're rolling it out to our Android app so more people can use it,” Luu-Van said.

You can start using Security Checkup on your Android device or computer in the Facebook Help Center.
