If you lock your Facebook profile your photos, stories, news posts, and photos posted on your timeline will be accessible only to people added to your friends’ list. In addition to this, all your past Public posts will be changed to only Friends. Only a selected portion of your About info will be visible to anyone coming to your profile.

Facebook Profile Picture Guard is another security feature of Facebook where a blue shield appears on your picture and no one will be able to copy, share, or download or take a screenshot of that picture. Once you activate the Profile Picture Guard, only you and your friends can tag your profile picture. This shield is basically a one-click privacy setting for your profile picture.
