Hi I cant click on the botton u mentioned. Under my profile picture album, instead of being able to be clicked, when I hover over the button, it gives this statement, you can change the audience for each photo in this album...
I have the same exact issue! What I understand from this video is that you have to make them private one by one, which takes a lot of time D: Is there another way?
Grace B They have added a new button called "Limit Old Posts". You can click that and it will take EVERY post and picture and set them to "friends only". Good luck!
FINALLY FOUND IT!!! go to your activity log, I click the little lock with the lines next to settings in the top right. Click Who can see my stuff... its the second option with activity log link. Then on the left click photos and then your photos. All your stuff comes up with the privacy options.
So, is there a way I can upload mobile photos with a predetermined setting of Private? I am so annoyed right now. Most of my pics are mobile uploads and everything is public! Very distressing.
===> on your page click Photos ===> click on Albums ===> click on a some album ===> click on a photo ===> click the icon next to the date of the photo. It will give you options to who views it. Unfortunately you have to go thru every photo of the album in order to do this. I can't find out how to do so otherwise. Repeat the process for other albums. Like so other people can see it. Cover photos are always public. Just FYI Hope this helps
hi, enjoyed your vid, great explanation, cheers. I do however have a question for you... I have made my profile pictures private (actually all my pics are now private) so only friends can view them, but when anyone looks me up, one of my profile pictures is always showing... can this be made completely private without removing it..? appreciate your help
This was great...but have you run into issues with Photos or albums on a DIFFERENT PAGE - say a business page that you have created...??? I can't select this setting for albums on on a different page.
It's all different now. When you hover over the gear on the album settings, it only says that you can change the privacy of EACH photo not the whole album itself.
click on the cob (top far screen right) > Privacy settings > click Timeline and Tagging (screen left) > in the 'Who can see things on my timeline' click Edit beside 'Who can see posts you've been tagged in on your timeline' > click drop down menu for that > Click Custom > now it will open up a menu > choose who not to share tagged pictures with > click save changes.
When I scroll over the part under the albums, it just says "you can change the audience for each photo in this album" but it doesn't let me change it?? Have you see this?? Thank you so much for trying to help people!
I have the same problem. I can't change the option on most of the albums but not on any of them. Either way if your case is the same as mine then you can change the option for each photo separately instead of the whole album at once. Try this.
That's because you're not following the video carefully. You can't do what looking to do on that page. That why it says "for each photo" You have to click the PIC then change the setting for each pic 1 at a time. He shows this starting at... 1:42 in the video
Great video! I did everything you said and changed my profile picture settings individually and they all now say that only my friends my can see them except for my current facebook profile picture which is public. However, when I view my profile as the public, it still shows all of my profile photos. Do you know how to fix this?
I had a complete stranger share my profile photo and my cover photo to her page today. I don't like that when someone who has never met me can take my pics without asking me. I used to have a security thing that stopped people taking my pics unless they asked me first. It was perfect. I can not find this option anywhere. Do you know if it exists, still, please?
Is there any way to do this by album anymore? Facebook now tells me I must do it by individual photo. I so appreciate this video- wish the would just stop changing things! Thanks
Thank you! I hate how often they change it.... Also, if I previously told an app I don't want it to post for me, how do I edit that? I only had the option initially, and now in the app settings, it won't post.
This is NOT a 2016 tutorial.. the info is out of date and no longer works despite the misleading title.. does anyone know how to do this for 2016 for real?
At the top right on your home screen where you see the padlock and arrow. Click the arrow then click settings. Click privacy on the left. Then on your right, click limit past posts. Confirm it and all of your pictures should be private.
I have a question for you. I have a new business. It's tied into my Facebook page. There is a button that takes you to another website through go daddy that show a picture of the new product with the option to buy it. MY question is how do I keep my private photos on Facebook from being viewed but also at the same time allowing photos related to my business to be viewed?
thanks for your video, that really helped a lot. I am really annoyed that facebook makes you go through the entire album to delete photos. That's complete crap, who has time for that? do you know if there's anyway I can make my personal info private? such as my music, movies, etc? thanks so much
mine either - the little wheelie thing there and when i scroll over it reads that i can change the settings, but does not do anything after that.. but, not on all albums..older albums, yes.. newer, no. individually, it does not have that option at all..
Thanks for video Chad. Recently photos i take with my phone appear on Facebook. It does however say only i can see these,but i can make them public. How do i stop Facebook having any access to my photos.
For those wondering why it doesn't give them the option to select who can and can not see the photos, when you click on the little grey gear icon to the bottom right of each photo album, those are the photos albums you need to go into and individually make EACH photo private. Pain in the ass. Google + may be less popular, but for stuff like making things private, the circles option is FAR better than facebook. Good luck everyone.
Hi man! If you want to make all the photos you're tagged in private, do you have to change the setting on each individual photo, like with the profile pics, cover and mobile uploads?
Different Question since you know so much about FB. How do I Upload photos to my FB pages. I use to beable to do it to the 3 different pages I have it no longer works. Any ideas?
I went in and each album, underneath, has a wheel that says I must change each individual photo within the album! so if I have 100 photos in one album, I have to go to each one, and not only each on on a page, but have to enlarge it then go to that side bar. why doesn't mine give me the option per album like yours did?
what if where you click on the lil box to change the photo album setting to something different like public friend etc. its the tool gear and you cant change it?
hey chad my facebook is strange..i have so many questions to ask u..... 1.how do i make my facebook page in private?like say people that add me can look at my page status walls pics etc..not the poeple doesn't add me can look at my page? 2.when i tried to change pics to friends list the stuff is not there? sry if my english is pretty bad..
hey there- just wondering if you know how to make your 'tagged photos' private. You used to be able to do that before and now it doesn't seem that way. Cheers
I followed the instructions, but when I go into the album and click on the icon under picture the little dude looking icon is working... BUT if the icon under the picture is a star/snowflake looking thing, and it won't let me do a dang thing with it. I have a lot of albums that need to be changed to friends only. How do I get the little star thingy to work? Does it work at all?
Can you make photos of you (but from other people albums) private as well. So when people go on to your page they dont see photos of you that people have tagged you in ? Thanks for the help
Mine will ABSOLUTELY NOT let me change the privacy of my photos. When I hover over the little gear for settings on each album, it says "you can change the audience for each photo in this album". it will not let me click on it. I got to each photo, and the edit button will only let me make it profile, cover, or delete photo (with some other date and time type options. I miss the simple settings.
Mine is like this for some of the albums and some of them have a settings icon underneath instead which is grayed out and unclickable. It even posts a hover caption saying I can change privacy on that album but I actually can't...
I used to have the ability to see my albums and choose their privacy settings for my albums but now I only see the album with no choice to edit the privacy. Also I have albums and now the pictures that were in some of them are no longer visible. Do you have any idea what the issue could be?
As a follow up, when you do go into these individual photos to edit them, make sure you click on the "DONE EDITING" button before you leave. If you just click the SAVE CHANGES button...strangely enough, it doesnt actually save the changes. Facebooks way of making sure everyone can see as much advertising as possible, they don't actually want you to do this. If any of this was of any help and you're a gamer. Check my channel out innit lol
I was try to change my photo album to privet but when I'm try to change from album there has no option to change only a setting mark is there,and there mentioned (you can change the audience for each photo in this album) what I have to do brother?? I want no body see my old photo even album.
can you show me a step by step on how to make either all pictures or your Facebook itself private from everyone except friends on the iphone rather than on the computer. I tried to do what you explained in this video on my phone but couldn't seem to figure it out. thanks
Right now, my profile pictures are unviewable for no reason whatsoever. I want to make them public again. I went to the albums tab, and only SOME albums offer me the option to change to public/only me etc. However, my profile pictures & cover photos album do not give me any options to be able to change anything. When I put my cursor over the tool/globe option beside the album, it says "You can change the audience for each photo in this album" which I tried, but still no luck. Any advice?
But isn't this for all photos within an album? I only want one photo made either private or that only friends see it but when I click on the icon it shows Edit Album Privacy but that only hides whole albums and not individual photos. Is there a way around this?
Hi, is there anyway you can update this video considering the fact that fb changed to were, now I cant do what your saying, and I'm trying to find out how, cause the old way don't work...thanks have a good day
hey,when you search for people on Facebook,you can see their photos even though your not friends. i have this issue where you can click on search and it says "photos of susan" or "photos like by susan" etc. i can't make those pics private. like they can see everything. i posted them private initially and now there not,
Hi - this no longer works - is there a new way to change the audience besides where it says "you can change the audience for each photo in this album"?
setting attach a photo, so I change the setting on status bar, I use have where could click on the Status bar and it would open and add Attach a photo would be there and could pull a picture or painting from my desk top or file, I trying to fix it
It happens the exact same thing to me. I wanna put my profile pics private, as you, but I can't click on the star symbol and click on "only me", just like I did in the past. If you found an answer, I'll appreciate it. (Y)
ok, thank you so very very much. you saved me!! ok so now i have another problem..someone has taken my pic and used it to catfish..how do i fix that or something i can do to stop that or stop it from happening in the future?? thanks so much for your help!!
hey i have a question. i would like to make my tagged pictures private, but would like tagged posts and check-ins still tob e visible to my friends. where do i find this option. there only seems to be an option for ALL tagged items. your help would be appreciated. thanks.
First off if you're using the facebook app you would have to edit each profile picture individually inorder to set the privacy settings on them!! The rest of your photos and post can be set under privacy shortcuts!!!
This don't work anymore. WTF did facebook change now?!?!?!
the drop down menus don't show on my facebook... I'm going nuts, why does it all have to be so counter-intuitive
I just wanted to say thanks for the straight forward instructions much appreciated.
you dont know how much you save my life man, for me your an angel, so thank you so much master :))
This is really very useful to me to keep my fb profile photo safe from public

So, is there a way I can upload mobile photos with a predetermined setting of Private? I am so annoyed right now. Most of my pics are mobile uploads and everything is public! Very distressing.
thank you very much for this video, it helped me a lot !
How can I change privacy of individual picture in an album other than profile pictures, cover photos and mobile uploads. Thanks
===> on your page click Photos
===> click on Albums
===> click on a some album
===> click on a photo
===> click the icon next to the date of the photo. It will give you options to who views it. Unfortunately you have to go thru every photo of the album in order to do this. I can't find out how to do so otherwise.

Like so other people can see it.
Cover photos are always public. Just FYI
Hope this helps

Hi - this no longer works - is there a new way to change the audience besides where it says "you can change the audience for each photo in this album"?
Is there a way to make photos of you that you are tagged in private to just your friends only as well?
Aside from my own albums, can i make "Photos of You" that i have been tagged in by other people only visible to me?
I swear trolls now attack your photos and make memes from it if they don't like your view point.

They always seem to change things I'm going to look into this for you.
