Social media is all about sharing your data with your friends, doing some chats, and enjoying your time. Facebook, as a famous social media, has the responsibility to amuse its users, too. However, sharing other users’ posts depends on the privacy settings that the author has set for the post.
We will show in this article how to make a post shareable on Facebook and let your other friends enjoy your lovely page.
Facebook post privacy settings

Only the selected friends will be able to view the post.

Nobody except you can see the post that you have published.

This mode is a combination of the “Friends Except” and the “Specific Friends” option.
