How to Block Pictures On Facebook

Facebook makes it very easy to upload images of family and friends. You can label individual faces in a photo with the names of any person with whom you are Facebook close friends. But what if you hate it when others post pictures of you without asking?

Facebook can't stop individuals from publishing your picture. However there's a Facebook setup that protects against various other individuals from discovering pictures labelled with your name. Select that setup, and other individuals will not be able to search for images of you.

Similar to numerous Facebook features, the no-tag setting is easy to use, but hard to find.

If one of your good friends on Facebook has already labelled you in a photo, look below it for the label "In this picture." Your own name will have an additional web link next to it, "eliminate tag." Click it. The tag with your name disappears. Also better, nobody else will certainly be able to identify you in that shot once again.

Just how to disable every person on Facebook from finding various other users' pictures of you? I had to e-mail Facebook to tell me where the switch is. Below's the step-by-step:

Computer mouse over the word Setups in the upper right corner of your Facebook web page. A food selection turns up.

Click Personal Privacy Settings. When the Personal privacy web page tons, click Account near the top.

In the page that loads, entitled Privacy > Account, look for Photos Tagged of You midway down the web page. Click the funny-looking widget that states My Networks and also Friends. Up pops a little food selection that looks like this:

You're practically home! Click "Customize ..." A large dialog box shows up that asks, Who Can See This? Pick the choice Only Me. After that punch Okay, and click Save Modifications at the bottom of the page.

You're done. Other individuals still can identify you in their own images. Your name will show up underneath the image, however the tag will not include a click-through web link to see other marked photos of you.

Commenter Skies pointed out an useful device on the Personal privacy > Profile page on top: "See exactly how a buddy sees your profile." Enter one more individual's name. Facebook presents your profile as it would certainly show up to that customer.

You can locate it on the Personal privacy > Account page at the top.
