How to block annoying photo tagging on Facebook.

Well I am now talking about a Facebook feature which I really hated. Yes its Photo Tagging feature which Facebook has. I always had discomfort for that. Simply it’s annoying, someone just uploads a photo/image and tags your name and it’s all over there, in your profile, in your photos. Well it’s not so feel good factor when someone who does not care about publicizing publishes his photo and tags your name on a bar? Or someone posting you with another gal and then tagging your name. Well many more such examples. It’s really a head ache sometimes or most of the times and I have seen myself and my friends too having tough time.

That’s when I did a little bit of research to find that you can block this entirely from making it public. Once you set the privacy level only images which you have been tagged will be visible to you, no one else.

Follow the below instructions:

  1. Login to Facebook, click on Account from top right side and select Privacy settings.
  2. It will show your current Facebook privacy settings ,click on the Customise settings link
  3. Find Photos and videos you’re tagged in and click on Edit Settings.
  4. Click the drop down on who can see photos and videos I’m tagged in and select Customize and then select only me in that.

That’s all, from now on who ever tags you in any photo/image you will see that on your profile but all others in you friends list or the public ones won’t be able to see those. What I am sad is about who Facebook who proclaims that users privacy is their priority but makes the settings so confusing for an ordinary user. They could have easily put the only me link straight rather they made it complicated. I think Facebook really wants indulge in privacy of user , alarm note Fb.
