How To Delete Facebook Applications
I'm not a very active Facebook user. Got my account just like anyone else on this planet but do not log in more than once a week or so as I mainly use it to validate news about Facebook.
I have however used some of the features of the social networking site in the past. This includes some applications and games.
One thing that I always wondered was how to remove those authorized applications from the Facebook account as there was not an obvious way to do so.
I did look around but the options and settings at Facebook use a strange system that can get confusing.
Delete Facebook Applications
Update: The process has changed in the meantime. The easiest way to manage all apps and games that you installed at one time on Facebook is the following one:
- Load https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications directly in your browser of choice. You may alternatively click on the down arrow icon in the upper right corner, select Settings, and on the Settings page Apps from the left sidebar.
- Facebook lists all apps associated with your account on that page.
- To remove an app or game, hover over it, and click on the x-icon that appears.
- Facebook displays a prompt to you afterwards that explains the consequences of the action.
Apart from just removing the app or game, you may also select to delete all activity traces of that game from your Facebook feed. This would remove posts, photos, videos and other activities.
A click on the remove button deletes the app or game from your Facebook account.
Old information below
You start by logging in to your Facebook account. Click on the Account link in the top right corner and select Application Settings from the menu that pops up on the same page.
Now select authorized from the menu at the top right of the page that loads after selecting application settings
This displays all applications that have been authorized by the user. A click on the x icon next to an application deletes the application from the Facebook account. It is also possible to access application settings and open the page of the application on Facebook.
The page not only lists applications on Facebook but also access on external websites and from desktop applications. (via ToThePC)
Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
