Privacy Tags: Your name should not travel without review.

Photo tags, mentions, review queues, face suggestions, old tagged posts, profile attachments, and the cleanup around other people's content.

Tags are privacy leaks with a friendly label.

Tags lane
May 2026

The Tags lane focuses on the content you did not publish but still carries your name.

Mentions, photo tags, review queues, face suggestions, and old tagged posts need a separate workflow from your own posts.

Most asked

Tags questions, answered.

Short answers for the decisions people make before they post, watch, buy, clean up, reply, or lock something down.

Q.01
What setting matters most?
Turn on tag review or manual approval wherever the platform offers it.
Q.02
Should I remove old tags?
Remove tags that expose location, work, family, private events, or content that no longer represents you.
Q.03
What about face suggestions?
Turn them off if automatic recognition creates more risk than convenience.
Q.04
Is asking someone to delete better?
Ask for deletion when the post itself creates risk. Remove your tag when the issue is only identity attachment.
