3. Make Your Profile Picture Un-clickable

This is one of the easiest facebook trick, it doesn’t require any code, just settings. Facebook made your profile pic clickable by default so that people can view large version of your image, but if you want to prevent that (viewing larger version of your profile pic) you can make your profile pic un-clickable.

To make your facebook profile picture un-clickable, move to your Timeline – Photos – Albums – Profile pictures – Select your current profile picture – change the privacy from “Public” To “Only me”, your profile becomes un-clickable but you can still make it clickable by changing the privacy back to “Public”.
