yes, FB timeline will going to be your default profile within a week. fb has given 1 week time limit to all the user who are still using older version i.e. fb will automatically apply it on your profile.
now there is no need to search on google about ways to remove the TIMELINE because you can't ,unless you are mark zuckerberg ;)
here are few things which you should know before switching into the new version.
1. now your every time is onLINE.
HIDE FROM TIMELINE will be the most useful option for you in coming day.Get ready to click “Hide from Timeline” a lot. You can find it under the “Edit or Remove” pencil icon that comes up when you hover your mouse over the top right corner of every Timeline post.
Remember, it’s not just embarrassing photos that Timeline unearths — it’s every inappropriate status update you’ve ever posted and every asinine message your old college buddies have ever written on your wall at 3 a.m.
If you’ve had Facebook for a long time, you’re going to want to spend at least an hour combing through everything in your virtual past and hiding what you don’t want seen. You can also remove or hide posts through your “Activity Log,” which presents everything posted on your profile in a more compact, easy-to-digest form.
2. Smile! Your Album Covers Are Now Huge
Before, old photo albums hid in an archive — a collection of small thumbnails that only the most committed Facebook stalker would search through. Now it’s all front and center on your Timeline. That means that the photo of you drinking a giant novelty margarita in Las Vegas could now be displayed in unsettling clarity in one of Timeline’s two giant columns. If you want to keep your photo albums visible, but just want to switch the cover to something a little less embarrassing, click “Change Primary Photo” in the “Edit or Remove” menu.
- COVER photos are PUBLIC.
yup, you got it right cover photos can't be hidden from the public, any one can view it.
FB doesn't offer any option for privacy regarding your cover photo, so be cautious about your cover photos before posting it on your timeline.
if you brows to the option for privacy setting of the album, there'll be a message reading 'cover photos are public'.
3. The Internet Knows Where You Are
Photos and photo albums can now be tagged with locations, which are then displayed neatly on a map. That means if your friend geotags your album “Vacation Time,” all of a sudden instead of just photos from a cabin in the woods, everyone can tell that your August vacation took place near Lake Tahoe. Now you have to either untag yourself from every geotagged photo or have your friend manually remove the geotag from every photo you’re in. It’s a total pain. Welcome to Timeline.
4. Violation of Privacy? There’s an App for That
A lot of the apps out there for Timeline are pretty cool, but a few venture into TMI territory or, at the very least, turn your profile into a kind of corporate billboard. Think carefully before you let a third-party app have permission to automatically add activity to your Timeline. Do you really want everyone to know where and what you’re eating at all times or what products you’re buying online?
You can always manage your apps by clicking on “Account Settings” in the very top right pull-down menu on your profile. Then click “Apps,” and you’ll be presented with a list of all the apps that have access to your Timeline. Remove the ones you don’t like or, under “App activity privacy,” change who can and can’t see the content posted by that app.
Remember, you can always remove any individual embarrassing app revelations on your Timeline by clicking “Hide from Timeline.”
