Why to protect Facebook profile

To prevent this from happening, Facebook has added a new feature called ‘Profile Picture Guard’. Open your Facebook profile and click on the current profile picture (do not click on ‘update profile picture’). When the profile picture opens, click on the options below the picture and select ‘Turn on profile picture lock’. A blue shield will appear on your photo.
