Using a profile lock is a good way to keep your private
information private. This feature is available on both iOS and Android mobile
apps. It takes only a few clicks to lock your profile. Once you lock your profile,
no one outside of your friend list will be able to view any of your profile
pictures or latest posts. This feature also helps keep you visible in search.
A profile lock is not an option for all users. It's only
available in a select few countries. You'll need the latest version of Facebook
to take advantage of this feature. Once you've set up your profile, you can
lock it from the Facebook app or from the website. You can also lock your
profile from your computer.
The Facebook app has a three-dot menu at the top right
corner of the screen. Click on the menu to see your privacy settings. If you
don't already know them, they're the best place to start. The app also has a
"Menu" button at the bottom right corner. You'll want to click on
that to see your profile. You'll want to click on "About,"
"Profile," and "Other." If you're not a fan of tabs, you
can also click on "Profile" to go to the same page.
There are a number of reasons to lock your profile. First,
it helps prevent nosy people from checking out your personal information.
Second, it keeps your profile from getting copied and spammed. It also protects
you from users who want to view your photos. It's a good idea to lock your
profile if you have a lot of photos or videos on your profile.
You'll also want to lock your profile if you've recently
added new friends. You'll be able to view their profiles, but they won't be
able to view yours. This feature is also available in the desktop version of
Facebook. You can use it to hide your profile from nosy people who may be
looking for you.
Besides the privacy options, you can also choose to limit
what is seen on your profile. This feature is not as comprehensive as the
privacy options, but you can still choose what's visible to whom. You can also
choose to set up a custom message for everyone or restrict messages to just
your friends. In fact, you'll be able to block unwelcome friend requests.
The simplest way to lock your profile is to visit the
website or mobile app. Once you have logged in, go to the "Account"
section. Tap the "Lock Your Profile" link in the tabs row. You'll
then be prompted to confirm your changes.
The website has an online Facebook account page, but you can
also access the app directly from your phone. To lock your profile on an iOS
device, simply tap the "Lock Your Profile" button. On Android, you
can also use the "Lock Your Profile" button. Both apps have the same
user interface.
