Profile pictures thieves wont like this as reports making rounds in the internet reveals that Facebook is bringing a new feature to prevent people from snipping or maliciously saving your profile picture without your consent.

Facebook announced the new tools in India which is still being tested. The feature will help users to be able to restrict downloads / access to their profile photo. If you live in India, then you are good to go as you might see an option to switch on "profile picture guard" when you surf through your News Feed. Don’t be surprised that this feature works like magic due to people being unable to save or screenshot your profile picture.

To see if the new "profile picture guard" feature is working, you can ask a friend to visit your Facebook page and try to snip or screenshot your profile photo and wait for what will happen. So sorry to say but the days of stealing people’s profile pics is about to come to an end and many won’t like this.

If you stay outside India, then you have to be patient until Facebook rolls out the feature to every other part of the world. The amazing thing is Facebook declared that it "hope[s] to expand to other countries soon."

With all the features of the Android and high ended phones everywhere? Waiting to see how that can be done, it will be a very good development.

I so much believe in the saying that "security is just an illusion, no matter how secured you try to be, there is always a loop hole". Soon this new feature of facebook will become nothing of concern.
