The Worst Thing With Facebook Photo Tag
Date 15/1/2013
If you have not logged into your Facebook account for some time, I suggest that you do so now. Once you are logged-in, click the "Photos" tab on your Facebook profile and what you see there might surprise you.
It’s your own personal photo album on Facebook but none of these pictures of odd-looking cartoon characters, horoscope charts, photo collages, friend graphs, etc. have been uploaded by you.

The culprit, as you may have guessed, are these Facebook applications that tag random images with your name and the tagged image therefore shows up in your Facebook profile page without you doing anything.
What’s the problem?
These "facebook apps" not only make your Facebook profile look very unprofessional but there’s something else to worry about as well.
Some photo tagging applications on Facebook (as the one below) add links to bad sites in "your" photos and your innocent Facebook friends, who are just randomly browsing your pictures, might fall in the trap.

What can you do?
The simple way is that you remove your name tag from the tagged photo and it will be instantly removed from your Facebook photo album as well. Just click the photo that you were tagged in click on option and click Report/Remove tag after that now check mark that says "I want to untag myself" see the image below, that's it.
You can also control your timeline and tagging setting by choosing under account setting .Find the option that says timeline and tagging, Here you can find a line that says “Review posts friends tag you in before they appear on your timeline?” Under this option click enabled see the image below .

When you enabled this
option, If any of your friend tagged a photo of you, Facebook always give you a notification on
your timelines activity log for reviewing the photo that you were tagged in see the image below.

Photo tagging is the one of the most popular features on Facebook and,
probably for this reason, Facebook offer a simple setting that
will prevent other users and applications from tagging you in
photographs.
And as a precautionary measure, visit the authorized apps
pages to make sure that you haven’t authorized any Facebook app to tag
images of other people on your behalf. If you find one, just click the
cross to remove that Facebook app from your profile permanently.
