Social media giant Facebook on Thursday added a new feature in India that allows users to lock their profiles from unknown people. Non-friends will not be able to view a user’s full size profile photo or any of their posts.
Facebook said this new feature is designed especially for women’s safety.
Non-friends will also not be able to zoom, share or download the profile photo or cover photos.
“We are committed to providing a safe platform for people to express themselves. We are deeply aware of the concerns people in India, particularly women, have, about protecting their online profile. Today, we are announcing a new feature which, in one easy step, will give people a lot more control, ensure their privacy and keep them safe and secure online,” said Ankhi Das, Public Policy Director, Facebook India.
Locked profiles will bear a tag stating so. This feature will be available to all users within the next few days.
