Tagging allows you to identify people in photos, videos and comments. It is one of the most popular features on Facebook as it redirects to someone’s profile every time. At the same time, it is a quick way to share photos. Are you tagged by someone? Then make sure you get a notification and decide for yourself whether this photo may appear on your timeline. This is how you do photo tagging in Facebook.
Tip 01: Tag photo
Tagging places a link to that person’s profile. When you type in a text message: “I went to Paris with Karin Huppeldepup.” Facebook will post a link to Karin’s profile. You will immediately notice that the social media site recognizes the name, because you only have to click on the correct name from a selection list. Photo tagging works a little differently. Open the photo on Facebook and you will see an icon at the top right Tag photo. You can recognize the button by the label. In tag mode, click on the person you want to tag. This will cause a square to appear around the head along with a field for you to type in a name. In this box the names of your friends are given priority, they are at the top, but below that you can also see similarities with pages and people who are not on your friends list. Select the correct name from the list and you have tagged the photo. You can repeat this process with up to 50 people per photo. Choose at the bottom Done tagging if you want to close this function. Others can also tag people in your photo.
Tip 02: Privacy settings
In most cases, the tag is immediately applied to the photo, allowing anyone hovering over the face to click the tag to visit this profile. In the privacy settings you can indicate that you want to receive a notification if someone else tags you. You can go even further and require that you approve the tag before it can go live. To do this, click the down arrow at the top right of the website or tap the three horizontal bars icon in the mobile app at the top right. click on Settings and privacy and go to Settings. click on Profile and tagging and navigate to the box To check. If you want to keep an eye on the case, turn this option on: Check tags that people add to your own posts before tagging on Facebook? You also make the top option active: Check messages in which you are tagged first before the message appears on your profile? If you then receive a notification that someone wants to tag you, you can allow this with Add to timeline. If you want to refuse this, click on Hide.
Who can see such a tagged photo is primarily dependent on the privacy settings
Tip 03: Visibility
By posting a photo tag to your profile page, that person shows that he or she was with you at a particular event or location. The photo and message is not only visible to the person posting the tag, but also to your friends through your timeline. Who can see such a tagged photo is primarily dependent on the audience that the account owner allows in his privacy settings. After all, he can make a photo visible only to friends or public. Tagging allows more people to join the club. You can also change this in the privacy options. Bee Profile and tagging in the section Tagging you have several options. Use the link Who can see posts you’ve been tagged in on your profile. You can choose between: Everyone, Friends of friends, Friends, Friends except, Specific friends, Only me or Adjusted. In the last option you indicate with whom you want to share or with whom you especially do not want to share.
Tip 04: Delete tag
If someone has tagged you and you are not happy with it, you can remove this tag. Use the three dots at the top right of the message and choose the command Delete tag. Of course you can also remove a tag from someone else on your own photo. To do that, open the photo and click on the X icon that appears next to its name.
The facial recognition software keeps getting better and can even track facial expressions
Tip 05: Face recognition
Facebook can scan each photo in the background and compare it with profile photos and with photos that the user community has since provided with name tags. The software keeps getting better so that it can find out not only the names, but even the facial expressions. This can be useful for producing proposals for tagging people, but it also feels like an invasion of your privacy. So think about whether you want to be recognized and do you want Facebook to provide you with a name tag more or less automatically. If the answer is no, you go back to the Settings and click in the left bar Face recognition. You can then simply turn this option off.
Tip 06: Activity log
It happens to everyone … A friend puts a picture online of a party where you go crazy and you would rather not see your colleagues or employer see this. You can search for these tags one by one or you can delete multiple tags at once. After all, Facebook keeps a list of everything you do on the site in the so-called Activity log. You get there via the arrow in the top right corner and then Settings and privacy / Activity log. There you can see what you have done recently. This log consists of three parts: Check posts you are tagged in, Check photos you may be in and Check tags in your messages. If there is any compromising imagery circulating on Facebook that you have been tagged with, you will find it in the second group. Click on the three dots above the message with photo and select Delete tag.
Tip 07: Report message
You can also report messages and photos via the above route. Facebook publishes its standards of what cannot be done in them official guidelines. For example, posts or photos that incite violence, deceit or fraud are banned. The recently amended guidelines indicate that the discriminated stereotype blackface, such as Zwarte Piet, is no longer given a place on these media. That does not mean that you will never see Pieterman again on these sites, but whoever takes offense at this can report it, which will cause Facebook to remove this photo.
