Most asked
Photos questions, answered.
Short answers for the decisions people make before they post, watch, buy, clean up, reply, or lock something down.
Q.01
What should I do before deleting photos?
Download the archive, check tagged copies, and decide whether privacy settings solve the problem better than deletion.
Q.02
How do tagged photos work?
A tag can connect your name to someone else's post. Use review settings so tags do not appear automatically.
Q.03
Can memories be controlled?
Yes. Review memory settings, people, dates, and notifications if resurfacing old posts is not useful.
Q.04
What is the safest cleanup order?
Download, review albums, remove tags, limit visibility, then delete only what truly needs removal.
