Which apps and websites can reach my Facebook account?
Any app, website or game you logged in to with Facebook. You’ll find them all in Settings and privacy → Settings → Apps and websites, grouped as active, expired or removed. From there you can change what an active app gets from you, or click Remove to stop it reaching your non-public information through Facebook.

What an app gets when you log in with Facebook
Facebook Help splits your information into two kinds.
Public information — your public profile and anything you’ve made public. Any app, website or game can access it at any time, whether or not you use it.
Non-public information — everything else. An app can only access it if you choose to share it with the app when you log in with your Facebook account. That choice is what View and edit lets you change later.
Facebook also says it may share your age category, such as whether you’re under 18, with app and game developers, to help their apps comply with laws and regulations concerning teens.

What removing an app won’t do
Removing an app only stops it from continuing to reach your non-public information through Facebook. It has limits:
- It doesn’t delete what the app already has. The app may have stored information from when you used it.
- It doesn’t hide your public profile. Your name and profile picture stay reachable, even after 90 days of inactivity.
- Expiry isn’t exact. Facebook can’t always tell when you haven’t used an app for 90 days, so it may sometimes stop an app reaching your non-public information even if you used it in the past 90 days.
- Business integrations don’t expire after 90 days. Remove them yourself if you no longer need them.

Another way in: Privacy Checkup
Privacy Checkup has a shorter review of recently used apps as one of its topics. Click your profile picture → Settings and privacy → Privacy Checkup → Your data settings on Facebook. It lets you review and remove recently used apps and websites from other companies that you’ve used Facebook to log in to.
In the same Privacy Checkup, Your ad preferences shows which profile information advertisers can use. Some Privacy Checkup settings can only be managed from your main Facebook profile.
Before you remove an app
Check that you don’t still use Facebook to log in there — after you remove it, that login stops getting your non-public information. Open the list again afterwards to confirm it moved to removed.
An expired app may ask for permission to keep accessing your non-public information. You can approve or deny that request.
Questions
01Why do old games still appear in the list?
The list includes apps that expired after 90 days without use and, under View removed apps and websites, apps you removed.
02Does removing an app delete my data from it?
No. Facebook Help says the app may have stored information from when you used it. Removing it only stops it reaching your non-public information through Facebook.
03What happens if I don’t use an app for 90 days?
Usually its access to your non-public information expires. It can still reach your public information, and it may still have non-public information you shared while it was active. Business integrations are an exception, and if you start using an expired app again it may become active again.
04Can an app still see my name after I remove it?
Yes. Your name and profile picture are always public on Facebook, so a removed app can still access them.
05Can I choose who sees which apps I use?
Yes. For an active app, click View and edit and set who can see that you use the app or website.
06Can an app show me who viewed my profile?
No. Facebook Help says Facebook doesn’t tell people that you’ve seen their profile, and third-party apps are unable to provide this.
