You can track down the most recent photographs of your grandchildren (my undisputed top choice thing to do!), chuckle at different images, read the most blazing tattle or news and stay aware of everybody’s political tirades. (Kindly note the mockery proposed for that last bit!). I’m a lovely open individual because of the sort of work I do, however, a large portion of you are not. You have photographs and data you simply don’t need the world to see, correct? It just several ticks to have the option to set your Facebook profile to a degree of protection that you are OK with.

Make your profile and cover photograph secure

To permit just your companions to see your profile photograph, head to your profile and snap or tap on your present profile photograph to open it. When you have it open, change the protection/share setting to “Companions Only.” This way, your profile photograph won’t show to any individual with who you are not companions. Also, you could decide to utilize a conventional photograph… one that isn’t of your face, like blossoms, feet in the sand an extended get-away, dusk, or anything you pick.

With cover photographs, unfortunately, whatever the current cover photograph is will ALWAYS be public. Once more, you can utilize a nonexclusive one, for example, a nature shot, an animation, or a most loved statement.
