🔒 Unlock Facebook's Hidden "Lock Profile" Button — VPN Trick

:locked: Get the Lock Profile Button Facebook Hides From Your Country

Facebook’s privacy feature exists. It’s just region-locked. Here’s how to get it anyway.


The “Lock Profile” button hides your posts, photos, and stories from everyone except friends. One click. Maximum privacy. Problem: It only exists in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Egypt, Morocco, and a few other countries. Solution: Make Facebook think you’re there.


🎯 The Method (5 Steps)
Step Action
1 Log out of Facebook on all devices
2 Connect VPN to Bangladesh, India, or Pakistan
3 Clear Facebook cache (Settings → Apps → Facebook → Clear Cache)
4 Log back in while on VPN
5 Go to Profile → ⋮ Menu → Lock Profile

The option should now appear. Lock it. Done.

🔐 What Locked Profile Does
Feature Effect
Posts/Photos Only friends can see
Profile Picture Shown as thumbnail, can’t be downloaded
Stories Hidden from non-friends
Timeline Protected from strangers
Past Posts Auto-set to Friends only

One button does what 10+ manual privacy settings would do.

⚠️ Troubleshooting
Issue Fix
Option still not showing? Turn off Professional Mode first (Settings → Profile)
Using multiple profiles? Only main profile can be locked
Desktop not working? Try m.facebook.com (mobile site) or use the app
VPN not working? Try a different country server (India usually works best)
Error message? Clear cache, log out everywhere, try again
