I keep getting tagged in photos on facebook. Is there a way to stop being tagged ? I know i can 'un-tag' myself, but thats a pain in the arse.

I dont like the idea that everyone on my list gets alerts on every bloody photo ive been in.

    There isn't a way to stop people from tagging you in photos. And looking over the news feed privacy options, it seems like the only way you can stop if from appearing on the news feed is by making "Photos tagged of you" private, as in only you can see it.

    But that means the only pictures people can see from looking at your profile are your profile pictures.

    Delete your Facebook profile. Unfriending the people tagging you might remove the notifications for everyone else.

    Delete your Facebook profile / tell your friends to stop tagging you in pictures

    That won't stop him from being tagged, it will just keep his friends from being able to see the photos. Unless, of course, they're friends with anyone else in the photo.

    It won't stop him being tagged but it will stop people seeing tagged pictures of him before he can untag them won't it?

    I wondered about this a few weeks back. Apparently the 'approve tag' option used to exist on Facebook when it first began, but was removed and they won't bring it back. I wish they would.

    Although, once you untag yourself from a picture you can't be re-tagged, so there's that.
