When putting in new profiles is there a way of automatically putting in the red padlock for completely private instead of the yellow one that has private with public biography and tree as I have just had a message from a relative that is not on wikitree pointing this out to me and I did tell him that the privacy setting is automatic and that I was in the process of changing the privacy settings accordingly as I am improving profiles.

Go to the profile, on the top header bar, click privacy, and when the page opens, select the privacy setting you desire. I do not think it is automatic.

I have been doing that as I go through the profile but my dear relative is either new to the site and just getting the hang of things or he is not a member thanks Rodney

When you want to add a new profile for a living person, use first name Anonymous and birth at before 2017. Next step is to change the privacy to private (unlisted is another option). You can now edit the profile to enter the correct name, dates and sources.
