Being tagged by a friend or family member in a permanent Instagram post is almost an honor. Of course, there is always the danger of appearing on someone's Instagram account in a photo in which you look bad, or where you don't want others to reach your profile. Well, there is an option to not show these photos in which you appear on your own profile So you can manage your privacy to the millimeter. Of course, remember that you cannot do anything about the photos published by others but report them.And it is that the profile of each one is managed by each one.
The process is the same on Android or on iPhone All you have to do is jump to your profile tab and display the menu from the top right corner. Here we select Settings to enter the screen, and look for the Privacy and Security section towards the middle of the menu. On the new screen that appears, within the Privacy section, look for the function Photos and videos in which you appear, and click on it to start managing it.
In this menu there are only two options The first, add automatically, refers to the function of adding images to our own profile and videos in which we have been tagged. By default it arrives activated, so anyone who reviews our profile will be able to see it.If we deactivate it, the next time someone does not tag a permanent photo or video, a notification will allow us to choose if we want to add it or not. In this way we can avoid the next step before it appears, which consists of deleting the photographs in which we appear.
The other option that appears on the screen is the one that takes us to this tutorial. With it we can hide the photos and videos in which we appear thanks to tagging other people. You just have to select the function to review all these snapshots of other people in which we appear. Here you just have to mark all those photos and videos that you want to hide. We can do it in batches, or one by one. You just have to point to them and click on the crossed out eye icon in the upper right corner. And ready.
This will no longer show the photos you appear in and that you don't like on your own profile. And you have no power over But What if you want to stop appearing in a photo? Then you must follow the next step.
How to remove my tag from an Instagram photo
But if what you want to avoid is that they reach your profile because you have been tagged or tagged in another user's photo, things are different. Remember that you will not be able to prevent the photograph from being on another person's profile unless it violates some of your rights (and looking good in a photo is not a right ). But you can prevent them from linking that photo directly to your profile. Even when you've been tagged in it.
To do this, just go to the photo itself and click directly on your label. With this, Instagram makes a pop-up window appear with a couple of options about the photo in which you appear. The first is to show this same photo on your profile, which you can check or uncheck at that very moment. The second option consists of force deletion of the label Select this option to carry it out instantly. And ready. In this way, no user will be able to click on the photo and see your label to reach your profile.
This does not prevent the photo from being seen by others, or from you appearing and being visible in it. But it does help you to limit the visibility of your profile and your privacy if you decide to lock your Instagram account.
