Allow Visitors to Review This Page Disabled Facebook

If you'd like to maintain tighter control over what appears in your Facebook timeline (and thus to everyone you're Facebook friends with), there'southward a elementary, only underused, mechanism built right into Facebook to requite you approval rights over everything people tag yous in.

Why You'd Want to Do This

Let'southward face it, we've all got atto the lowest degree one of the post-obit people in our stable of Facebook friends: the person who tags everyone in their [political/event/multi-level-marketing] posts, the person who likes to postal service random (and often inappropriate) content and tag everyone they think might observe it funny, the person that takes a million photos at every effect and tags every person nowadays in every one of them, or whatsoever other number of people who corruption Facebook's friend tagging function.

If you lot're tired of friends tagging y'all in announcements for the "Super Awesome Rap Slam Battle!!!" they'll be in next weekend, or you really don't want photos of you from a party last weekend to automatically inundation out to your Facebook feed without your approving, so youadmittedly need to accept advantage of the "Timeline Review" characteristic. In curt, timeline review puts every single thing you're tagged in–posts, comments, and photos–upward for your review before it is published on your Facebook timeline (and visible to your friends/family unit/coworkers).

Earlier nosotros dive into turning the characteristic on, there are few things worth highlighting about the timeline review feature just so there'south no confusion. First, the timeline review function doesn't allow you to actually censor content you don't like off of Facebook, information technology merely allows you to go on stuff you don't like off your personal timeline so that it is not visible there (nor pushed out to your Facebook friends). Denying a post via timeline review doesn't erase it, it just keeps it off your timeline.

Information technology also doesn't prevent the tagger'south friends from seeing the posts–so if y'all accept any friends in common, they'll all see those posts no thing what. This can just prevent the posts from showing up on your profile page, and showing upwards in the feeds of the friends you don't have in mutual with the tagger.

Similarly, information technology doesn't stop people from posting on your Facebook wall per the settings you've configured for your wall.  The timeline review office is for filtering posts you are tagged in, not filtering posts your friends go out directly on your timeline. If you desire to tweak who can mail to your Facebook wall, please refer to our tutorial here.

Lastly, it's an all or nothing affair. As of yet there is no function within timeline review to gear up whatsoever sort of trusted friends or the like. This means if your spouse tags you in tons of family photos, there's no fashion to say "Corroborate everything from user XYZ, I trust them", and you're left manually approval all those posts earlier they appear on your timeline.

Those caveats aside, it'due south an extremely handy manner to stop your friends from seeing your uncle's crazy political rants (which he insists on tagging yous in) or everyone in your family unit from seeing the multi-level-marketing garbage your coworker is always tagging everyone in.

How to Plough On Timeline Review

Turning on and using timeline review is a pretty straightforward thing. While you tin toggle the setting from both the web site and from the Facebook mobile app (nosotros'll evidence yous how to practice both), it's slightly faster if you lot practise it on the website.

Enabling Timeline Review on the Website

To enable timeline review via the Facebook website, log into your account and click on the minor menu triangle on the upper right side of the bluish navigation bar, then select "Settings", as seen below.

In the left hand navigation pane, select "Timeline and Tagging".

In the "Timeline and Tagging" carte look for the entry "Review posts friends tag you in earlier they appear on your timeline?"; by default this setting is off. Tap on "Edit" to change it.

In the now open carte du jour, click on the drop down bill of fare and toggle "Disabled" to "Enabled".

The changes accept consequence immediately, there'south no confirmation or save push to press.

Enabling Timeline Review on the Mobile App

If you're reading this tutorial on your phone and want to jump right into changing the settings, here's how to do it from the Facebook mobile app. While in that location are minor differences betwixt the layouts of the app on different mobile platforms, you should be able to follow along easily using these iOS screenshots.

Tap on the "More than" bill of fare push button in the navigation bar and select "Settings" in the resulting carte, every bit seen below.

Select "Business relationship Settings" in the pop upward  carte du jour.

Select "Timeline and Tagging" in the "Settings" carte du jour.

But like on the website, select "Review posts friends tag y'all in before they appear on your timeline?"

Toggle "Timeline Review" to on.

Once more, like the website toggle, there'south no confirmation and the inverse take effect immediately.

How to Use Timeline Review

Now that you've turn the timeline review function on, let'south take a peek at what information technology looks like in activeness. To demonstrate nosotros enlisted a friend to postal service a Minions meme and tag usa. On a sliding scale of things we'd adopt non to exist tagged in, we'll put Minions memes solidly betwixt invitations to parties where overpriced candles are sold and posts that implicate the tagged users in interstate drug smuggling operations.

When someone tags you, y'all'll get a notification similar so.

The notification always looks something similar "[user] tagged you in a post. To add this to your timeline, go to Timeline Review" with a thumbnail of the mail service. Click on either the bolded "Timeline Review" or the thumbnail to jump to the post.

There you can select either "Add to Timeline" or "Hide".

As you add or hide items, yous'll encounter condensed entries for each detail that reflects how the mail will appear on Facebook, like so.

Remember, adding a mail to your timeline inserts it into the news feed of your friends, places information technology on your wall, and otherwise integrates it into your Facebook footprint. Hiding the postal service from your timeline stops those things from happening, but it doesn't delete the mail or remove the tag. If you wish you lot can visit the postal service and manually select "remove tag" to remove the link to your Facebook account entirely from the postal service or, if the post is more than than an annoyance and actually a violation of Facebook rules or illegal, yous can click the report push.

While timeline review isn't perfect, information technology'southward a pretty great way to catch a lot of the stupid posts you might become tagged in and, in the process, avoid cluttering upwards your timeline (and annoying your friends) with garage posts.
