The Display picture or Profile picture is your basic identification on social media handles, and thus it is very important to keep it secure, especially if you have a public profile. Anyone can just copy your profile picture and create a fake identity by your name. Thankfully Facebook now has features like Profile Picture Guard and Facebook Profile Lock to avoid such kinds of scams.
Facebook profile lock is a feature where you can lock your profile and show a limited view of your profile content to people who are not added to your Friends’ list. 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.
Here's how to lock your Facebook profile
- Open the application and go to your profile.
- Click on the three-dot option, next to the edit profile option.
- Tap on the lock profile option from the list.
- Now, read who all can see posts, photos and stories and click on lock your profile.
