Introduction

If you're tired of people tagging you in unflattering photos or you're concerned that someone will tag you in a photo you don't want other people to see you in, change your Facebook photo tagging settings. You can modify Facebook's photo tagging settings so that you review every photo that people tag you in, whether the photo is in your collection or someone else's. You can adjust your Facebook photo tagging settings within your account's privacy settings.
