Here we explain the steps you must follow to achieve this.
How to hide a profile photo
It is possible to configure your privacy on Facebook, so that you can have control of who views your photos, including the profile one.
This privacy setting is called “ only me” or “only me” in which Facebook people will not be able to see your comments, your likes, preferences, or your photos, the point is that the profile photos remain at everyone’s view , Facebook friends or not.
So the only thing that can be done is to configure it so that certain users cannot see the photo in large, that is, it will continue to be visible in the thumbnail, but without having access to the description, reactions or comments.
You have to follow a series of simple steps, but they vary if you are using the browser or the mobile application.
From the browser
First, go to your Facebook profile from your web browser. Log in and go to your profile. Click on your profile picture, and choose the option that says “view profile picture.”
Once the photo is enlarged, click on the “world ball” icon, this is where you will select the option of “just me” or “friends” as the case may be.
In the application
The procedure is similar to the previous one. Enter the application and go to your profile. Then select your profile picture, and then the option to “view profile picture”. You must press the three points that are in the upper part.
There you will see several options, choose “change privacy” . Finally, select if you want to be seen by “friends” or if you prefer “just me”.
Remember that this only allows your profile photo to not be visible in large , but in a thumbnail in comments and notifications.
How to activate a hidden photo on Facebook?
If, on the other hand, you want a photo that you previously hidden to be visible again, you must go to the ” Settings” option in the menu. As you go down, the option “Activity log” will appear. Click there and you will be able to find all the posts you have made, even the hidden one.
