Have you heard about the Facebook Protect Security Feature? If NO, we are here to guide you on how you can activate the Facebook Protect on your Facebook account and secure your Facebook from hackers.
Recently, the social networking giant Facebook sent a notification to its users recently that everyone has 15 days to activate its all-important “Facebook Protect” feature.
The blue app warned that failure to do so means users will be locked out of their accounts until the security feature is activated. The deadline to activate the Facebook Protect was slated for November 12, 2021.
The Facebook Protect is designed to safeguard users, especially journalists, human right activists, among other public figures against hackers or other security threats.
