Facebook Privacy – How to Reset All Public Posts to Friends-Only

facebookprivacy

I recently found that despite my default posting privacy level being "friends" all of my recent posts are "public". Is there some way I can quickly move these posts back to "friends" or otherwise delete them without removing all my posts?

I turned off public subscriptions but I would rather make all the posts friends-only.

Click on the triangle in the upper right corner of the blue bar at the top of the window, then Settings, then Privacy in the left sidebar, and then Limit Past Posts on the right to expand that section. Then click the Limit Old Posts button to limit your past posts to (at most) your friends.

You can also change the privacy setting on each post individually by clicking on the globe icon next to the public post.
