How to Prevent Unwanted Tagging Of Your Photos in Facebook?
Social media has added all the spices in life where
you enjoy everything that is linked to you-and what is totally out of
context too. Facebook Tagging option made this entire community more
connected. Although tagging your friends in mutual pictures and videos,
as well as in funny random shares is truly a fun, it sometimes become
too irritating. I always love to have huge number of notifications only
and only if they are related to me. Is it the case with you too?
What about having a wall with much of unrelated photos and videos where you have been tagged by your friends randomly? That is really an annoying thing. Cherry on the top, if you have your Facebook mobile notifications activated, you get notified on your cell phone every time someone tags you and moreover, every time someone comments on it, you get the notifications as well.

Cherry on the top, if you have your Facebook mobile notifications activated, you get notified on your cell phone every time someone tags you and moreover, every time someone comments on it, you get the notifications as well.
Now here is a simple solution to get rid of unwanted
notifications by stopping the tagging in photos and videos. This
tutorial will surely make your life a peaceful one, it made mine
undoubtedly!
1) Remove previous Tags
There must be plenty of photos and videos already
existing in your profile where you must be tagged irrelevantly. Before
we move on to a permanent solution, let us first correct the previous
mistakes. You first need to untag yourself from the images and videos
where you are tagged. Un tagging yourself is pretty easy but can be
again irritating if you have to do it separately for every picture.
You can do this in two ways:
a) Go to the picture and click on “remove from timeline”
b) Click on the options below the picture and select report/remove tag.
This will pop up an option screen where you will be
needed to select a reason why you are removing the tag. Select the
reason, most appropriate and move on.
2) say no to unwanted updates with unfollow posts
Think of a childhood friend tagging you in an old
group photo. Would you like to remove your tag then? Obviously no! but
what to do with the continuous trail of notifications that will be
bugging your profile as well as your cell phone inbox with comments that
other tagged friends will make on it? its easy, you only need to
unfollow the post, this option was not available before few months, and
then the life was pretty difficult where either you had to say a yes to
unwanted notifications too if you are fine with tags, and if
notifications became too bugging, you had to remove your tag as well!
There is the option “unfollow post” available below
every post where you are tagged in. clicking on it simply will take you
out of the flood of expected notifications.
3) set it once and for all-start reviewing
You can obviously not stop your friends from tagging
you from their end, but what Facebook has introduced now is, you can
always monitor now which tag to allow and which to reject. To control
this, go to your Facebook Privacy Setting menu from the top right corner of your Facebook page.
This will open up the privacy setting page in front of you, scroll it downs to the Timeline and Tagging section and click on Edit Settings.
click on the Review posts friends tag you on the pop up screen.
This will bring you on the timeline review pop up
box. all you need to do is to select enable and replace it with default
Disabled.
This option will allow you to check all the tags that
are added by your friends before actually being published on your wall.
You have all the rights to review any tags and can remove or approve
them according to your own choice.
So that was a simple tutorial to make your life
easier and saying bye to the unwanted tagging. keep your Profile Neat
just like you maintain yourself!
