The procedure to conceal your profile depends on your requirements. You may either hide your profile from specific users or make it invisible to everyone except friends and friends of friends. If you simply want to conceal your profile when you’re logged out, you can do so by deactivating your account.

In the upper right corner of any Facebook page, click the triangle upside down. To change your account password, go to “Settings.” In the left column, choose “General.” Manage Your Account is where you’ll find it. Select Deactivate Your Account and follow the on-screen directions to confirm your decision.

When you delete your account, Facebook keeps all of your preferences, photos, and personal information in case you decide to reactivate it. Your data is still there; it’s simply hidden. However, deleting your account permanently offers no opportunity for recovery.

Your profile is hidden from everyone else. Some data, like emails you’ve sent to friends, might still be viewable. Your name may still be visible on your friend’s list. Group administrators may still be able to see your contributions and remarks, as well as your own name.
