While profile locking is not supported by Facebook in all countries, it still provides many advantages. To unlock your profile, you need to make manual adjustments. To access the lock settings, go to your profile and tap the name at the top-right corner. Then, tap the &#8220;Edit profile&#8221; link to change your privacy settings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Timeline_review\"><\/span>Timeline review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Timeline feature is a new way to display all of your Facebook activities on a timeline. While it&#8217;s a convenient tool to prevent people from reading your posts, you should also be aware of your privacy settings. Here&#8217;s how to lock your Facebook profile timeline review. The first step is to click the arrow in the upper right-hand corner of your profile page and choose Privacy Settings. Once here, you can turn off the Recent Activity update and block any posts that are considered offensive.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tag_review\"><\/span>Tag review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re concerned about your safety and privacy, you may want to use the new Lock Profile feature to limit access to your profile. By locking your profile, people outside your Facebook circle can&#8217;t view your profile, posts, stories, or photos. When you lock your profile, your privacy settings will be changed to Friends. You&#8217;ll also be able to turn off tag reviews and timeline reviews, which are two functions that help others find you on the site. Locking your profile gives you complete control over your privacy and safety.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Locking_your_Facebook_profile\"><\/span>Locking your Facebook profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may not have realized, but you can lock your Facebook profile on a desktop computer. Simply log in to your Facebook account and click on the &#8220;settings&#8221; menu, then click on the &#8220;security&#8221; tab, and then select &#8220;lock profile&#8221;. After that, you can simply tap on the lock icon and confirm. Your profile will then be locked and unviewable by others. This feature is especially useful for protecting your privacy. In addition to ensuring your privacy, locking your Facebook profile is also helpful if you share the page with friends, since it can be easily shared with them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_your_profile_from_non-friends\"><\/span>Hide your profile from non-friends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want people to view your Facebook profile, you can choose to change your privacy settings. You can also choose whether you want to accept tags or not. You can also turn off the location history. Then, return to the main Facebook screen to edit your entries. You can choose not to display your location history to non-friends. That way, you can hide your profile from everyone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_your_profile_from_mobile_apps\"><\/span>Hide your profile from mobile apps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can hide your Facebook profile from search engines by following the steps outlined below. The change may take a few days to take effect, so be patient. Then, reopen Facebook on your computer or mobile device and select the option to hide your profile. You&#8217;ll no longer have your profile linked to search engines. Be advised that while your Facebook profile is hidden from search engines, it will still be accessible to people who type in your name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_your_profile_from_PC\"><\/span>Hide your profile from PC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can hide your Facebook profile from your PC by using one of the many methods available. First, visit Facebook&#8217;s main page. Then, click the &#8220;Photos&#8221; tab to open your profile pictures. Then, click the photo you wish to hide. It must be in the Profile Pictures album. The photo will be opened in a new window that shows the picture and any upload information and comments. Next, click the tiny globe icon located below your name to view your privacy options.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_your_profile_from_Android_devices\"><\/span>Hide your profile from Android devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many ways to hide your Facebook profile on Android devices. First, you must disable the &#8220;Allow search engines outside of Facebook to link to my profile&#8221; option in the privacy settings. In your mobile device&#8217;s Settings, you can find this option under the &#8220;Accounts&#8221; tab. Select Facebook from the list, then tap &#8220;Edit&#8221; next to the setting. Alternatively, you can delete your Facebook profile entirely.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7p_KTRSWRXM\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"382\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Lock Your Facebook Profile?
