Facebook - privacy setting for profile pic?

Van Hellseek · 29 Mar 2011 at 13:57

How do I set it so that only friends can see my profile pic? I don't see an option for this in privacy settings>customise. :confused:

This will make it impossible for other friends to identify you? Antisocial Brah ?

As far as I can tell, its not possible. The only way I think you could do it is to un-set your current profile pic, leaving you with nothing at all. However this will be the same for your friends.

Weird, you used to be able to hide even the profile photo such that people couldn't identify you.

Setting has been removed for some reason, allthough you maybe able to do something with permissions on the actual photo or the album.

Why bother uploading one? Surely your friends know who you are?

Who cares if people can identify you?

Surely youre not in hiding from that many people? And if so, simple solution....Dont use Facebook, surely?

You can make it so you're not searchable/addable, no? Just do that, then only your friends will see it.

I still want people to be able to find me by entering my email address though.

Make a random email address for Facebook, then associate that with the profile. You can then have emails from that account forwarded to your main one, if you actually want notifications.

Wow, all of that just to hide from people on facebook?

Maybe if the OP feels the needs to go to these lengths to hide from people, maybe he has greater issuse in his life that need resolving before he starts to think about how he will hide from people on a social networking site!
