How To Enable Facebook Profile Lock Feature If It’s Not Available In Your Region

A few months ago, Facebook came up with a new feature “Facebook Profile Lock”. This feature allows users, especially women to lock their Facebook profiles. It was introduced to protect people’s privacy from stalkers on the social media giant. Facebook said:

The ability to lock your profile is a feature designed for people in India, especially women, who want more control over their Facebook experience

Once this feature is enabled on your Facebook profile, non-friends can not view any type of content on your profile. They can not zoom into or share your profile picture either.
