How To Lock Facebook Profile (2022 Updated) || A Step-by-Step Guide

You have private life like everyone else. When you make your Facebook personal, you can choose your followers and friends individually and create a social life privately on the platform.

If you are applying for a job and are seeking it, your prospective employer will likely check your social media profiles to learn more about you. Your hiring decision may influence your political or religious beliefs or previous comments.

You have already given anyone who wants to stalk you or harm you everything they need, including your phone number, place of employment, or even the names and addresses of your family members—because of this, having a private account will enable you to defend yourself against undesirable individuals.

Additionally, you will safeguard yourself from online identity thieves. They have easy access to your personal information, including your mother's maiden name and birth date. Additionally, they may use this information to obtain a loan without your consent.
