How to change privacy settings for FB Questions? - Doodi - 12-15-2012 03:37 PM

I have a custom privacy setting for almost everything on FB. The new application (Facebook Questions) FB launched, displays my answers publicly and I couldn't find a way to prevent it from doing so. The application displays answers even for the general FB community (non-friends) which is irritating. Could you please tell me how to fix this? Cheers ^_^
At least if it's impossible to change privacy settings for the app, is there a way to un-answer a question I have already answered?

You can't disable the app as they made it a core app like photos and notes. Any question you answer is subject to the privacy settings of the user asking the question and not your privacy settings. In short, if you answer someone's question and anyone is allowed to see it, everyone can see your answer. You can, however, hide questions you ask from others by determining who can see your wall posts.

A question is essentially a wall post.

same problem. didn't even realize it had saved my answers.......and no privacy - this should be fixed as, like you said, open for all of FB to see even though my setting are extremely private!!!!
