Facebook is testing a new feature in India to make the user more rested and make sure no one will steal your profile photo.

As we know, there are thousands of people out there with free time and willingness to practice photo theft and then use these photos for fake profile creation or other hidden purposes. Finally this phenomenon will end because the profile photos will be protected.

Os users in India may already see the option to enable "profile picture guard”(Profile image guard). When the guard is activated, other people will no longer be able to save your photo or even make the screenshot with an Android device. People who are not on your friends list will not be able to tag anyone, not even themselves in your profile picture, regardless of your settings. tags.

In order for people to know that your photo is protected, a blue box instead of the classic white will appear around it. In addition, the lower part will be shown the illustration of a shield.

You're probably wondering why this tool and why they test it in India?

“Facebook prepared this experimental resource, after discovering, from security organizations, that some women in the country are not comfortable sharing an image that must be seen by the 2 billion Facebook users. They are apparently concerned about what could happen to their photo, these images can be used for pornographic ads, such as “women nearby waiting for you”, social networking sites, etc.

There are many ways that these photos can be used, some prefer to create albums with profile pictures of women, while others may try to deceive others with a fake profile.

How can this happen to anyone in the world. Facebook is considering making this feature available worldwide soon.
