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.
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?
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..
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 the info is out of date and no longer works despite the misleading title..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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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?
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.
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?
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?
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?
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?
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
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"?
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?
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.
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 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
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.
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
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, 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
yeah all i have is a gear and it says i can change it and it doesnt let me click and change it like yours. and photos of me that other people post people can see theres no album or anything to let me select that
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.
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
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
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
i was wondering how i could make all my photos private: the pictures ive been tagged in from friends since 2004 \ i check some people s profile and i cant see their pictures i can only see their albums how can i do that?
um facebook isnt the same as this old video... how do i do it now.. i dont get the drop down tab and all i get is these cogwheels that i cant select... facebook has become so dumb now sigh
hi i tried to mka emy fb private ive clicked on the iconat the top of the page to change my profile from public to just friends so i made another fb account to see what others would be seeing and it still looks the same i can see everything even though i have changed everything on my fb account to friends
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...
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.
sorry for my english. but i would like to ask how can i private my photos to people not in my friendlist. i already done fixing my settings. but still when i use another account i can view my photos but that account were not friends
I want to add a photo to my uploads or make a album how do I do that without posting it so everybody can see it I go to upload a photo in at the top it says post I don't want to post it to the public
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 gear but it says "you can change the audience for each photo in this album" what does that mean? either way it won't let me change the settings and everyone cans see my profile pictures
===> 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
I went into albums none of my wheels open???>>> why is that ,,I can do pic by pic as I did for profile but I have over 5000 with all the rest,,Can you tell me why the wheel under the albums don't open???
How do I privatize any pictures I was tagged in? Different people can see different photos I was tagged in depending on if they are friends with the tagger.
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
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.
I need help. I have people that can see everything I have up comments on everything and the bad part is their not my friends and yes I've blocked them many times before. I've seen on people pages that u can only see their profile pic that they have up now and only that. I know how to block people and I thought I had it fixed where no one can see anything but I've been told u can still see things. Thanks Miranda
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
you dont know how much you save my life man, for me your an angel, so thank you so much master :))
I just wanted to say thanks for the straight forward instructions much appreciated.
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...

Hi, how do yo make TAGGED photos private? Would really appreciate if you could make a video on that! Thank you so much. You've been a great help!
I found the settings button you mentioned, but was not able to get it to open up. Any suggestions??
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.

thanks a lot - they ake it far too difficult to do this. you made it easy +1
Yeah, same here. The little 'cog' icon seems to be static and cannot be clicked!
===> 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
I went into albums none of my wheels open???>>> why is that ,,I can do pic by pic as I did for profile but I have over 5000 with all the rest,,Can you tell me why the wheel under the albums don't open???
mine are all set to only friends and it is still showing to everyone! it making me nuts!
How do I privatize any pictures I was tagged in? Different people can see different photos I was tagged in depending on if they are friends with the tagger.
How do you make pictures to where people can't copy them for themselves? Great video, I will have to make sure my pictures are where I want them...
This really helped alot. thanks
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
Have an iPad when I go to profile picture to open up photos it goes to thumbnails I can't do anything with
I registered two accounts using the same number and one account got suspended,i cant access it at all,how can i get it back?
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.
I need help. I have people that can see everything I have up comments on everything and the bad part is their not my friends and yes I've blocked them many times before.

I know how to block people and I thought I had it fixed where no one can see anything but I've been told u can still see things. Thanks Miranda
Thanks for the info ....what I need to do is stop someone that is not my friend from sharing my pictures or post
They always seem to change things I'm going to look into this for you.
