Facebook users finally have the ability to remove themselves from their friends’ photo tagging suggestions, by customizing privacy settings.
The social network had announced this capability in December, and has quietly rolled it out to users over the past few months. Now it appears that most, if not all, people on Facebook can go into their privacy settings, click on customize and then scroll down until the option “suggest photos of me to friends” appears.
To customise your settings, go to Account, Privacy Settings … on this page you will see a small link called “customize settings”. Scroll down to “Suggest Photos of me to Friends”
Clicking on the box labeled “edit settings” brings up the window above with thumbnail images of friends you interact with frequently. A good explanation of the ability to opt in or out of photo tagging suggestions appears below the pull-down menu where you choose to enable or disable the feature. You can leave this feature enabled or disable this. Disabling removes the option of suggestions to your friends to tag you in photos. However, leaving the option enabled means friends get suggestions from Facebook to tag you in photos. If you don’t like a particular photo, you can always untag yourself from it
