In fact, more than 100 million people do just that. Many people even decide to hide their profile pictures altogether. This article will explain how to change your profile picture and change its privacy settings. This article will also explain how to view a locked profile picture. But before we get started, let&#8217;s first go over the basics.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_your_profile_picture\"><\/span>Editing your profile picture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change your profile picture, you can do so privately through the Facebook app. Just hover your mouse over the existing image and click the &#8220;Edit Profile Picture&#8221; button. Choose your new image and set it as your profile picture. You can also make this update private by checking the &#8220;Privacy&#8221; box. In the process of editing your profile picture, you must be aware of the latest privacy changes and settings on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>To change your profile picture, click the &#8220;Edit&#8221; button next to your thumbnail. Select &#8220;Edit Profile Picture&#8221; from the drop-down menu and select the image you wish to edit. You can then zoom in and out, as well as reposition the photo. Once you&#8217;re satisfied with the changes, click the &#8220;Save&#8221; button. Now you can see your profile picture in a larger format. You can also resize it to fit in the box.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_a_photo_album\"><\/span>Hide a photo album<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve made an album on Facebook, you might be wondering how to hide it. You can change the privacy settings of individual photos to hide them from everyone. If you want to hide an entire album, however, you&#8217;ll need to do this for every single photo you have on Facebook. Here are some steps to take. To start, log in to your Facebook account. After you&#8217;ve logged in, select the &#8220;Settings&#8221; menu at the top of your profile page.<\/p>\n<p>On your smartphone, open the Facebook app and sign in to your account. Click the three-dot menu button in the top-right corner. Scroll down to Photos and Albums, then tap the three-dot menu icon. Scroll down to &#8220;Edit album.&#8221; You&#8217;ll be able to see albums of all your photos, including the one that you&#8217;re hiding. If you want to keep the photos private for everyone, click &#8220;Edit album&#8221; and then &#8220;Hide Album&#8221; to make it private for everyone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_privacy_settings\"><\/span>Change privacy settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to change the privacy settings for your profile picture on Facebook, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. The privacy settings on Facebook govern how many people can see your picture. You can choose to make it public to everyone, or private to just people you&#8217;ve chosen to invite to view it. When you choose private, only people you invite can see your picture. This is especially important if you want to limit how much information strangers can see about you.<\/p>\n<p>To change the privacy settings on your profile picture, you must click on the three-dot icon located at the top right of the photo. Click this icon and choose the option &#8220;Edit album.&#8221; The next screen will let you choose who can see your picture. You can change it to only yourself, all Facebook friends, or a customized list. You can also edit your photo by clicking on the Uploads tab. Once there, you&#8217;ll have to set the audience selector to a new value &#8211; Friends, Family, Public, or Friend List.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Viewing_a_locked_profile_picture\"><\/span>Viewing a locked profile picture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want others to view your profile picture, you can use a Facebook application to track down a locked picture. This app can be used to trace a Facebook profile picture by using its URL. However, trespassing on Facebook privacy is risky. Websites have the ability to alter URLs, so tracking down a locked profile photo can be risky as well. Using a mobile application to access a Facebook account isn&#8217;t recommended, either.<\/p>\n<p>To view a locked profile picture, you must first log into your Facebook account and locate the locked picture. After doing this, right-click on the image to copy the URL and paste it into your browser. Once you do that, you should see the locked profile picture. Once you see the picture, you can then delete the sublink tags and view the full profile. You can also try using the Google cache to view a Facebook profile picture.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tin6nl96-WI\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"207\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your Profile Picture on Facebook If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to change your profile picture on Facebook, you&#8217;re not alone.
