You can track it by Facebook Profile Tracker These cover photos are public and anyone on Facebook can access it and view or download your photo even in high-resolution. Moreover not just the current cover photo, but your whole cover photos album is public. Let’s have a look at few things you should know about these cover pics.

• Cover Photos are ‘Public’ and anyone on Facebook can see it.
• Not just your current cover photo, but your whole album is publicly visible.

• People can download or view all your cover photos.
• Unfortunately there’s no way of hiding a cover photo or its album. It’s public by default.

Keeping these photos public isn’t a good idea and there should be an option of making this album private.
