When you add a new profile picture, here’s what happens:

• The photo you've made your profile picture will be public. You can change who can see likes or comments on the photo.
• A story will be posted on your Timeline (unless you have Timeline review turned on) and may show up in your friends' News Feeds.
• The photo will appear in your Profile Pictures album.
• A thumbnail version of the photo will appear next to your name in different places throughout Facebook. This helps friends identify your posts and comments on Facebook.

1. Go to your Timeline and click the Update Info button
2. Find the Contact Info section and click Edit
3. Use the audience selector to the right of each piece of contact info to adjust who you share it with

Your public search setting controls whether people who enter your name on a public search engine may get a link to your Timeline as a result. However, this information may still be saved in a search engine’s cache or search memory. The link may appear until the search engine updates and deletes it, but the link will not be valid.

Facebook does not have control over content that has already been indexed and cached in search engines. To request the immediate removal of this search listing, you will have to contact the specific search engine’s support team.

The privacy setting for Public Search only applies to search engines indexing a preview of your Facebook Timeline. This setting does not apply to comments you have made in Groups or Pages that are open to everyone. If you do not wish to have these comments indexed by search engines, please delete them.

By default, anyone on Facebook can send you a friend request. If you’d like to change who can send you friend requests:

1. Click in the top right of any Facebook page and select Settings
2. Click Privacy in the left column
3. Click Edit next to Who can send you friend requests?
4. Select an audience from the dropdown menu

When you import your contacts from other services (ex: your email account) to Facebook, you have the option to send your contacts an invitation to join Facebook. If people received an invitation from you that you didn't mean to send, please let us know.

Unfortunately we can't retract invitations that have already been sent, but you can prevent any future invitation reminders from being sent to these people. Learn more about removing your imported contacts.

If you believe that the privacy settings you have set are not working properly, please let us know.
