By default, the posts you make public on Facebook can be viewed and commented on by anyone, including people who are not your friends. At times, this policy can become a problem as your profile picture and cover photo are always public, so these are good spots for abusive comments. If you are facing such a situation, you can follow the steps in this tutorial to keep people who do not have connections with you from commenting on your posts.
This feature is only accessible on the most recent version of Facebook. As of this writing, the most current version of Facebook for Android is 104.0.0.17.71, and the iPhone counterpart is 72.0. You can download the latest Facebook updates using the app store.
This guide is universal and works for both Android and iPhone.
