How to Block Pics On Facebook

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

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

Just like lots of Facebook attributes, the no-tag setup is easy to use, yet hard to discover.

If among your pals on Facebook has actually currently identified you in a picture, look under it for the label "In this photo." Your very own name will have an additional link beside it, "eliminate tag." Click it. The tag with your name disappears. Even much better, no one else will be able to label you in that shot again.

Just how to disable everybody on Facebook from locating various other individuals' images of you? I had to e-mail Facebook to inform me where the switch is. Right here's the step-by-step:

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

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

In the page that loads, entitled Personal privacy > Profile, try to find Photos Tagged of You midway down the page. Click the funny-looking widget that states My Networks and Buddies. Up pops a little food selection that resembles this:

You're nearly residence! Click "Personalize ..." A big dialog box shows up that asks, Who Can See This? Select the choice Just Me. Then punch Okay, and also click Save Adjustments at the end of the page.

You're done. Various other customers still can identify you in their own images. Your name will appear under the picture, but the tag won't include a click-through link to see various other identified photos of you.

Commenter Sky mentioned a beneficial tool on the Personal privacy > Account web page on top: "See exactly how a pal sees your profile." Enter an additional user's name. Facebook shows your account as it would show up to that individual.

You can discover it on the Privacy > Account web page at the top.
