Verily, the vast expanse of the internet doth bring souls together, whether they be willing or not. For there are those who wish not for their weekend escapades to be laid bare before their colleagues, or seek to elude the gaze of a former flame lurking in the shadows of cyberspace. Fear not, for there doth exist methods to shield thy Facebook profile from the prying eyes of strangers.
### 1. Make Your Facebook Profile Private
‘Tis a simple yet powerful method to ward off unwelcome intruders from perusing thy Facebook realm. Thou need not grant entry to all and sundry, especially if thou art not a figure of influence, a creator of content, or a luminary in the public eye. Set thy account to be seen only by thy Facebook companions, thus safeguarding thyself from spies and stalkers.
To adjust thy privacy settings in the realm of Facebook, follow these steps:
1. Log into thy Facebook kingdom.
2. Click upon thy Profile icon and choose Settings and privacy > Settings > Privacy.
3. Select the Check a few important settings option and click the Who can see what you share tile.
4. Proceed with setting thy preferences in each section, opting for Friends or Only me as thou seeth fit. Click Next until the final window, then close it with a click of the X in the corner.
Shouldst thou find discrepancies in the privacy settings of Facebook, ’tis wise to acquaint thyself with the proper usage of Facebook’s Privacy Center, for it doth serve thee well.
### 2. Lock Your Facebook Profile Down
A feature bestowed upon thee by Facebook, the lock feature, doth offer sanctuary to users, particularly to the fairer sex in certain lands, allowing them to fortify their profiles against external forces. By donning the lock icon within thy profile, thou shalt deter non-friends from beholding, enlarging, downloading, or sharing thy portraits and chronicles of days past.
Turning thy account into a bastion of privacy shall necessitate a perusal of profiles and tags, as the public posts of yore shall henceforth be veiled from strangers’ eyes.
To engage in this protective measure, should it be available in thy realm, follow these steps:
1. Enter thy Facebook keep and journey to thy Profile.
2. Seek out the three-dot menu in the high reaches of thy profile and select the Lock Profile option from among its offerings.
3. Facebook shall enlighten thee on the workings of the lock. Read well, then proceed to Lock Your Profile.
Henceforth, thy profile shall be open solely to thy friends in the realm of social media.
Many are the privacy settings that Facebook offers to shield thy account from prying eyes, yet there exist further means to safeguard thy realm. One cardinal rule in preserving thy privacy on Facebook is to be selective in thy connections. Refrain from accepting requests from strangers and extending invitations to those unknown to thee, for thus shalt thou spare thyself many a headache and post in comfort upon thy profile.
Furthermore, in thy postings, exercise caution. Be wary of sharing personal or sensitive tidings, such as thy abode. This caution extends to thy media as well; take care that naught be revealed that might unveil thee unto unwelcome seekers.
### 3. Change Your Facebook Profile Discovery Settings
‘Tis not uncommon to receive invitations from acquaintances of yore or mutual friends with whom thou hast scant acquaintance. Perchance thou hast ignored such entreaties for so long that they have blended into the tapestry of thy Facebook domain. Verily, there are ways to forestall such unbidden company.
Thou canst diminish the deluge of friend requests unwanted with the aid of Facebook’s profile discovery settings. By customizing thy email and phone settings, thou mayst regulate who can unearth thy Facebook profile and in what manner, a boon indeed if thou art loath to be found by strangers.
To alter these settings to thy liking:
1. Click upon thy Profile image in the ethereal heights of Facebook.
2. Traverse the path of Settings and privacy, selecting Settings from the offerings.
3. Choose Privacy and navigate to the How people can find and contact you section. Click Edit next to Who can look you up using the email address you provided?
4. Then, toggle to Friends in the drop-down menu and close the matter.
5. Repeat this dance with thy phone number as well, lest unwanted guests come knocking.
