Shared by Major Nelson, the changes allow you to decide who can see your posts to your activity feed. You can set it to everybody, friends, or block altogether. Subsequent tweets from Major Nelson reveal this also allows you to set your game, party, invite and messages privacy as desired, but still allow others to see feed content. The settings can be found on the web, or on the console by navigating to My Profile, Privacy, View Details, Communications, and Multiplayer.

This is definitely a welcome change, helping users, and even parents, control the content shared on Xbox Live. Do you find this feature useful? Drop us a comment below to let us know your thoughts!

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
