“You’ve been tagged in a photo” – You get this message when someone tags you on Facebook Photo. Well, exactly what does it mean? It reveals that you are in that photo, it also links to your profile, it means everyone who sees this photo can see who you are and can dig more about you using your profile. You might get annoyed when your friends tag you on some silly / embarrassing / unwanted photo and all those photos are shown on your Facebook timeline. In this post, I will tell you How to disable Facebook Photo Tags? and How to control photo tagging on Facebook?

 Follow these steps to disable Facebook Photo Tags

1. Login to Facebook
2. Got to Settings ( https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy )
3. Click on “Timeline and Tagging”
4. Under “Who can add things to my timeline?” > Review posts that friends tag you in before they appear on your Timeline? > Click “Edit” and change to “Enabled”

Now you have to manually approve posts you’re tagged in before they appear on your timeline.

Follow these steps to remove past Photo Tags on Facebook

1. Login to Facebook
2. Go to Activity Log > Posts You’re Tagged
3. Click the globe icon next to the picture in the list, and then select “Report/Remove Tag.”

Facebook will automatically remove your tag from the photo although it won’t remove your name if it appears in the caption.
