2 Easy Ways to Lock Your Facebook Profile

Everyone has their own reasons for creating a social media account, including Facebook. Some people use Facebook to share things with friends and family, while others keep it for personal use only.

If you want to keep your Facebook profile private and prevent unwanted people from viewing it, you can lock your profile.

Although it is fairly easy, some people are still confused about how to do this. There are at least two ways to do it, either through the Facebook or Facebook Lite app, or the Facebook website. Please refer to the following discussion.

1. Through the Facebook Application or Facebook Lite

The first way to lock your Facebook profile is through the Facebook app itself. Follow these steps:

1. First, open the Facebook app on your mobile phone.
2. Then, go to your Facebook profile by pressing your profile photo.
3. Alternatively, you can press the three lines at the top right, then select your Facebook account.

4. Next, tap the three dots on the side.

5. To lock your Facebook profile, select the "Lock profile" menu.

6. Finally, press the blue "Lock your profile" button to proceed.

7. You will get a message saying "You locked your profile" if the action is successful.

2. Via Facebook Web

Besides using the app, you can also lock your Facebook profile through the web or a browser. I'll explain using a laptop, but the steps are similar on a mobile browser. Here are the steps:

1. First, log in to Facebook through the web.
2. Then, go to your profile by tapping the profile picture icon or your account name.

3. Once you're in, tap the three dots on the right side.
4. Next, select the "Lock profile" option to lock your Facebook profile.

5. To continue, press the blue "Lock your profile" button.

6. If you see a message saying, "You've locked your profile," then your Facebook profile is successfully locked.

Locking your Facebook profile is one of the best ways to maintain your privacy. Here are some benefits of locking your Facebook profile:

• Only friends can see photos and posts on your profile, so you can freely upload without unknown people seeing them.
• Only friends can view your profile photo and cover photo in large size.
• Any posts previously shared publicly will change to friends-only.
• Only part of your About info will be visible to everyone.
• Only friends can see the stories you share.
• Profile and tag review will be enabled, so only friends can tag you in their posts.

One great thing about this feature is that you can lock or unlock your profile at any time without any limits. It's easy; just follow the same steps. The "Lock profile" option will change to "Unlock profile" when the profile is locked.

So, these are the two ways to lock your Facebook profile. This method is very useful for maintaining your privacy on social media. It's quite easy, whether through the Facebook or Facebook Lite app, or the Facebook web. That's all for now, and good luck!
