Profile Lock on Facebook

For starters, Facebook Profile Lock is a privacy feature that protects one’s data from complete strangers on the platform. Once enabled, strangers, i.e., people you’re not friends with, will not be able to see any photos or posts on your timeline. Instead, they’ll be shown a limited view of your profile content.

Previously, with the profile picture guard, Facebook prevented others from downloading and sharing the user’s profile picture. Profile lock extends it further by stopping others from expanding your profile picture or viewing any other content.
