Tired of those Facebook Photo Tags, the one by your virtual friends or acquaintances? Yeah me too. It is one of the most irritating feature of Facebook. Let`s see what happens when your friends, tags you in a photo.
Tag Review as a name suggest is the one way to disable Facebook Photo Tags. Once enabled, you will be notified of the photo tags which you have to manually approve or disapprove before they are made visible onto your Timeline.
To enable Tag Review.
A menu with five options will appear as shown in the figure. Click on the arrow to the second option to enable the Tag Review.
From now onwards you will receive notifications whenever you are tagged by another user in a photo.
Another method to disable Facebook photo tags is the Maximum Timeline Visibility which determines the visibility of the tagged photo on to your Timeline. Here`s how to tweak it so that the photo in which you are tagged is only visible to you or the one with which you are comfortable sharing with.
Click on Public, move down to Custom and tweak it accordingly, like set Only Me if you want this photo to be visible to you only.
Another method to avoid being tagged, is to switch off the Tag Suggestions(the fourth option in the list). Disable it, then your friends will never find you in the photo tagging suggestion list.
So that`s how you can save yourself from the Facebook Photo Tagging Spam. Do share your thoughts about the Facebook Photo Tagging feature?
