How to Control Who Sees Facebook Posts You are Tagged In Using Android


In order to maintain your privacy and keep your personal information secure, Facebook allows you to limit the visibility scope of all the posts in which your friends tag you. Depending upon the nature of your Facebook profile and the friends that are added in your account, you can configure the privacy settings to any one of the following:

[listNum]■Everyone
■Friends of Friends
■Friends
■Only Me
■Custom
[/listNum]

All the above options except ‘Custom’ are self-explanatory. When you choose the ‘Custom’ option, you can specify the names of your friends with whom you want or don’t want to share the posts which you are tagged in.

Using your Android smartphone, here is how you can configure your Facebook profile to restrict the visibility of the posts on which you are tagged in:

    ■Turn on your Android phone.
    ■Tap the Menu button to go to the apps list.
