privacy control

On Tuesday, Facebook has made some changes on the user interface just for good reason. In response to user request to give greater control over sharing their profile page, it announced that it will now let user pre-approve photos before their friends can post with their name attached. It will allow users to share exactly what they want with exactly who they want .

Although, currently you can still remove your friends tag but after being made visible to other users. But now the pre-approval photo tag enables you to approve or reject your friends tag. It will also apply to written post that you are tag in and also for pre-approving what others tag on your own photos and posts.

However, your friends can still add photo of you but what it does affect is whether you name is attached to it or not. Everyone can now tag anyone on Facebook, but the tagged person has to approve before the photo or post pops up on their profile. This new control feature will be on users’ pages, next to the posts and photos they share. The changes will be rolled out by Thursday.

Facebook is also making another change called ‘view profile as’, which makes it easier for users to view how one’s profile looked like to any other users. These new settings are part of Facebook’s move to handle privacy concerns and of course to give users more management over tagged photos and shared profiles.
