What is how to lock my facebook profile?

Here's how to lock your Facebook profile:

Locking your Facebook profile limits what people who aren't your friends can see. This helps protect your privacy.

• How it works: When you lock your profile, only your friends can see your posts, profile pictures, and stories. Strangers will only see a limited view of your profile.

• Steps to lock your profile (On Mobile):

  1. Go to your profile.
  2. Tap the three dots below your name.
  3. Tap "Lock Profile".
  4. Tap "Lock Your Profile" again to confirm.
  5. You'll get a notification confirming your profile is locked.

• Steps to lock your profile (On Desktop): While a direct "lock profile" feature isn't universally available on desktop, you can adjust your privacy settings to achieve a similar effect. Ensure the following privacy settings are set to "Friends" or "Only Me":

  • Who can see your future posts?
  • Who can see your friends list?
  • Who can look you up using the email address you provided?
  • Who can look you up using the phone number you provided?

• What Locking Does:

  • Limits Profile Visibility: People who aren't your friends can only see your profile picture and cover photo.
  • Restricts Posts: Only friends can see your posts and stories on your profile.
  • Disables Profile Picture and Cover Photo Zooming: People who aren't your friends can't zoom in on your profile picture or cover photo.
  • Reviews Tagged Posts: All your public posts you're tagged in will only be visible to friends.

• Unlocking your profile: You can unlock your profile by following similar steps as locking it. On mobile, go to your profile, tap the three dots, and tap "Unlock Profile." Then tap "Unlock" and confirm.
