How to Block Photos On Facebook

Facebook makes it simple to submit images of loved ones. You can label specific faces in a picture with the names of anybody with whom you are Facebook buddies. But suppose you despise it when others upload photos of you without asking?

Facebook can't stop individuals from publishing your image. But there's a Facebook setting that avoids various other customers from discovering images tagged with your name. Select that setting, and various other individuals will not have the ability to look for pictures of you.

Similar to many Facebook functions, the no-tag setup is easy to use, but hard to discover.

If one of your close friends on Facebook has actually already identified you in a picture, look below it for the tag "In this picture." Your own name will certainly have an added web link next to it, "remove tag." Click it. The tag with your name vanishes. Also better, no one else will certainly have the ability to label you in that shot once again.

Just how to disable every person on Facebook from discovering other customers' photos of you? I needed to e-mail Facebook to tell me where the switch is. Right here's the step-by-step:

Computer mouse over words Setups in the top right corner of your Facebook page. A menu pops up.

Click Personal Privacy Settings. When the Privacy web page loads, click Profile near the top.

In the page that loads, labelled Privacy > Account, look for Photos Tagged of You halfway down the page. Click the funny-looking widget that says My Networks and Pals. Up pops a little menu that appears like this:

You're practically home! Click "Personalize ..." A large dialog box shows up that asks, Who Can See This? Pick the alternative Only Me. After that punch Okay, and also click Conserve Modifications at the end of the web page.

You're done. Other users still can mark you in their own photos. Your name will certainly show up beneath the photo, but the tag will not include a click-through web link to see other marked pictures of you.

Commenter Skies pointed out a beneficial tool on the Personal privacy > Profile page at the top: "See how a close friend sees your profile." Key in another customer's name. Facebook displays your account as it would appear to that user.

You can discover it on the Personal privacy > Profile page at the top.
