How to lock Facebook profile in Nepal? You may have wondered and called Google for help before. But the problem with it is that Meta had not made this feature available in Nepal. But you can do so and here we have also listed the methods to make it easy for you.
First, what is Facebook Profile Lock, and you may need it?
Facebook Profile is a feature that lets users keep their account private so when anyone clicks or taps on your profile name and goes to your Facebook, they won’t see ‘private details’. And while the profile and cover photo remain visible, they can’t be opened in full view.
Locking your Facebook profile only lets ‘friends’ see your details. It basically keeps away stalkers from peeking into your account and possibly demotivate hackers too.
- Only friends will be able to see your photos, status, stories.
- Only friends will be able to see your profile picture and cover photo.
- But people can find you in others post, or by searching you and send a friend request.
So, you can find the difference of locking your profile or temporarily shutting down.
