In this article, we will see how to make Facebook posts shareable in a few steps. Making a post shareable on Facebook will let your friends and followers share the same on their timeline or to a page or group.
Sharing Options in Facebook
Facebook lets us set sharing options globally for all posts and individually for a single post as well. If you set an option globally then the same applies to all posts you publish on your Facebook account. But you also have the option to edit sharing settings of individual posts. Making a post shareable on Facebook is easy and all you have to do is simply edit the audience option and sharing options. So, let’s see how to do it.

Follow the simple step-by-step guide given below to easily change the settings of a post and make it shareable across the platform. Step 1: First of all, log in to your Facebook account. Step 2: Go to your profile and find the post that you want to make shareable. Once found, click on the three dots icon from the top right corner of the post and click on Edit Audience. Step 3: Now a popup will appear revealing various categories of audience. This will include Public, Friends, Friends Except, Specific friends, Only me, Custom and Close Friends.

That’s it, as simple as that.
Final Words
At times, we might keep the privacy settings of our post as Friends or Closed Friends, this will make the post-non-accessible to the public and people won’t be able to share the same on Facebook. If you have posted content on Facebook with these privacy settings, then make sure to change it to Public to make it shareable again. Next time onwards, when you post a new post, make sure to keep the privacy settings Public.
