However, you can unlock your profile so that you can view it as someone else. To unlock your profile, you&#8217;ll need to access the profile of the person you&#8217;d like to view. Go to your profile screen. Tap on the message that says &#8216;Your Profile is locked.&#8217; Tap on the &#8216;Unlock&#8217; link or the three-dot icon next to your name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verifying_your_details_to_unlock_facebook_profile\"><\/span>Verifying your details to unlock facebook profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in unlocking your Facebook profile is to verify your details. There are a few ways to verify your identity and bypass the security check. You can contact Facebook directly or submit a form if you have a problem. You must provide a valid email address and a photo ID. If you don&#8217;t have an email address, you can use your mobile phone number. To confirm your identity, you must send the email from which you signed up to Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest method is to upload an official government ID card. You will receive an email from Facebook confirming the verification. Next, complete the verification form. You can upload up to 3 ids. Once completed, your profile will be verified. To speed up the process, you can also upload a selfie. The only thing to keep in mind is that you cannot use fake information or inappropriate personal chat to get your account activated.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limiting_access_to_your_profile\"><\/span>Limiting access to your profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can limit who sees your posts by adding people to your limited profile list. Limiting who sees your profile can prevent people from viewing information about you that you don&#8217;t want them to see, like your job title or educational background. This privacy setting was rolled out by Facebook in August 2011. You can also manually change the privacy settings of individual posts to limit how much information is available to certain users. Here&#8217;s how.<\/p>\n<p>To check whether people can see your posts, log in to your Facebook account and go to &#8220;Settings and privacy.&#8221; On the right side, select &#8220;Edit list.&#8221; Change the &#8220;In this list&#8221; setting to &#8220;Friends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restricting_access_to_your_cover_photo\"><\/span>Restricting access to your cover photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you would like to restrict the access of people to your cover photo on Facebook, you will need to make sure that your cover photo will never appear in news feeds. You can do this by editing your privacy settings. Under &#8220;Friends&#8221; and &#8220;People I follow,&#8221; you will find several options to restrict who can see this information. To make sure that only your friends can see your cover photo, select &#8220;Only me&#8221; or &#8220;Friends&#8221; or click on &#8220;Custom&#8221; instead.<\/p>\n<p>To limit the access of people to your cover photo, you should make sure that the design of the image is not deceptive, misleading, or encourage people to add cover photos. If you violate any of these rules, Facebook could take action against your page. However, the company doesn&#8217;t say specifically what will happen. Secondly, your cover photo must be the right size. Using a different size will make it more difficult for people to view your cover photo.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Viewing_locked_profiles\"><\/span>Viewing locked profiles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several different methods for viewing a locked profile on Facebook. You can either create a new Facebook profile and add it to your friends list, or you can use the &#8220;View locked profiles&#8221; option to get to the locked account. The key is to conceal the original details of your account so that you don&#8217;t show up on the target&#8217;s timeline. In this article, we&#8217;ll look at the best way to do that.<\/p>\n<p>You can turn on the privacy feature on your profile to limit who can see certain information. You can also choose to hide certain posts and photos. By default, only people you know can view your posts and photos. This way, you&#8217;ll prevent third parties from scraping your information and photos. Once you&#8217;ve disabled the privacy setting, you&#8217;ll be able to share your posts with friends. You can even lock certain sections of your profile, so only your friends can see them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Unlock Facebook Profile &#8211; How to View a Locked Facebook Profile When you have locked your Facebook profile, you might not be able to access it because it has been invited by another user.
