How to Make Tagged Facebook Photos Private

Because anyone can load a picture and tag you in it, you may want to minimize the number of people who see photos that have you tagged, which you can do by making tagged Facebook photos private.

Step 1 - Login to Facebook

Log in to your account on Facebook and go to your wall by clicking on "Settings" on the right side of the screen.

Step 2 - Navigate to the Privacy Settings Page

Scroll down to the field marked "Privacy." To the right is a link marked "manage." Click on this link. Next, click on the "Profile Information" link at the top of the new screen.

Step 3 - Change the Privacy of Tagged Photos of You

The seventh option on the screen is called "Photos and Videos of Me." To the right of the option is a drop down menu. Use the drop down menu to select your desired setting for who can view pictures that have you tagged in them. Since you mostly likely do not want "Everyone" to be able to see these photos, you can choose between "Friends of Friends"--which allows people who are friends with your friends to view photos tagged with you--or you can choose "Only Friends," which allows only your Facebook friends to see the tags on the pictures.
