How to lock your Facebook profile? All you need to know

Facebook had recently launched a feature which allowed its users in India to lock their profile completely so that only people from their friends list could view them, including the user's photos and posts. The new feature called 'Facebook Profile Lock' has been introduced with the purpose of protecting people's privacy from complete strangers on the social media site.

"The ability to lock your profile is a feature designed for people in India, especially women, who want more control over their Facebook experience," Facebook had said at the time of launch. The Facebook Profile Lock is essentially an advanced version of the Profile Picture lock the company had introduced a few years back, it gives the user greater control over who gets to see their profile.
