Facebook Profile Picture Guard

Facebook introduced a new feature called Profile Picture Guard as part of new tools for better control over who can download and share their profile pictures.

Right now it is in an early state and works only in Android apps.

The feature will add a blue border and a little shield symbol which will appear on your profile picture. You can turn ProfilePicture Guard on or off, by following these simple steps-



  1. Click your profile picture
  2. Click options
  3. Click Turn on Profile Picture guard
  4. Click Save
  • Other people will no longer able to download/share/send your profile picture in a message on Facebook.
  • People which are not in your friend list on Facebook won’t be able to tag anyone, including themselves, in your profile picture.
  • Where possible, it’ll prevent others from taking a screenshot of your profile picture on Facebook, which is currently available only on Android devices but as for now profile pictures with guard can be obtained with screenshot through a PC.
