Choose who can see and interact with content

Before publishing

1. Review the audience available in the composer.
2. Check comment permissions and any creator download preference that applies.
3. For a community post, read that community's posting and approval rules.
4. Publish only when the selected audience matches your intention.

Sharing does not widen access

A saved post, copied link or private message share still checks the original content's permissions. A person outside a private community cannot use a shared link to bypass membership. A deleted, restricted or expired item may stop opening even if the link was previously valid.

• Following someone does not grant access to every field or space they own.
• Message permissions are separate from post and profile audiences.
• Reel downloads require both platform availability and creator permission.

Limits of audience controls

An authorised viewer may take a screenshot, record a screen or retain a downloaded file. Changing privacy, blocking someone or deleting a post cannot recall those copies. Report misuse and contact support with the original link or useful context rather than sharing harmful material more widely.
