Facebook is the most widely used social media platform that provides us a platform where we can share our views, opinions, photos, and videos with our community members so that they can also know about the various things. However, when you use Facebook, then you will have to share the access with the other group members. These people now use your photos for various purposes and share them. In this way, they will also steal your information such as your contact number, identity, and other things.

Facebook offers its users a number of privacy options, including the ability to lock their Facebook profiles.
