How to View Locked FB Profile Pic?
There is a common format or type of URLs that Facebook follows for the locked profile photo. By tweaking some portions of the URL, the locked profile picture can be viewed in an enlarged format. Thus, it is important to understand the structure of the URLs used by the social media platform. There are primarily two types of URLs- One is the short 160×160 p image, generally visible on timelines. Another is the public URL of the same picture, which is enlarged. This image will have the highest resolution as uploaded by the profile owner. In the first part, there would be letters and in the last part, there would be numbers in the URL of the profile image. The letters determine the size of the picture and whether the public URL refers to a full-size image or a thumbnail. The numbers are the unique ID essentially. You need to change a few things in the public URL to see a locked or private profile picture.
