How to Lock Facebook Profile on Mobile and Desktop ?
Facebook, one of the most used social media platforms, offers several options for tracking privacy and security on its platform. One of the key options is profile locking which was introduced by the tech giant in May 2020. It was initially designed to ensure the safety of female users, but due to popularity, it has been used by all users on the platform.
This feature allows photo posts, profile pictures and cover photos, stories and new posts to be shown only to people who are on the friend list on a locked profile's timeline. In addition, 'Public' posts will no longer be public and will only be visible to your friends.
Once you lock your Facebook profile, no one will be able to stock it. This will keep your personal information safe. There are two ways in which you can lock your Facebook profile.
