On the new Facebook profiles, is it still possible to hide your tagged pics from others? - Emma - 11-09-2012 07:13 PM
I have the old Facebook profile, but I've made it so that my tagged pictures aren't posted on my wall and people can't see them by going through my albums. I do this because I have LOTS of different people on Facebook (childhood friends, people from many different countries I grew up in, teachers, relatives, acquaintances).
On the new profile, your tagged pictures are shown at the top, below your school, birthday, and employer. Would this change make my tagged pictures visible? Are the privacy settings any different?

Sorry if your expecting an answer ... but uhm I also have the same question as you, so if anybody gives out an answer than i'd like to be notified., because I dont like the tagged pictures on my profile.. its just odd ... it makes my profile look wierd. Other than that the new profile is okay.

Hello! This recently has become a very common question, and for good reason. Fortunately, Facebook has taken this into consideration when designing the updated profile.
After deciding to switch to the new design, ALL of your privacy settings remain the same - including those associated with your photos. What this means in relation to the new feature of the five tagged photos being showcased on your profile page is that only those who you allow to view your tagged photos will be able to see them. If you have settings that prohibit certain people viewing tagged photos, the photos featured will instead be replaced by the album pictures that you allow to be public instead. In the case of your settings reflecting a choice of not allowing ANYONE to see your tag photos, the same scenario (album photos being featured) applies to EVERYONE.
In reference to your question about the privacy settings, Facebook has made it completely clear that their current user privacy preferences were unaffected in this change.
Hope this helps!
