Block Photos On Facebook

Facebook makes it simple to post images of loved ones. You can tag private faces in an image with the names of any individual with whom you are Facebook friends. But what if you hate it when others post photos of you without asking?

Facebook can't quit individuals from uploading your photo. However there's a Facebook setting that avoids other individuals from discovering images tagged with your name. Choose that setup, and other customers will not be able to look for photos of you.

As with many Facebook functions, the no-tag setup is easy to use, but hard to find.

If among your good friends on Facebook has already marked you in a picture, look below it for the tag "In this photo." Your own name will have an added link beside it, "eliminate tag." Click it. The tag with your name vanishes. Also better, nobody else will be able to mark you because shot once again.
