On the new Facebook profiles, is it still possible to hide your tagged pics from others?

[Michael Stone]

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!
