How To Make Your Pictures Private On Facebook

  This post teaches you how to prevent others from seeing a photo or album of yours on Facebook.
*Keep in mind that you cannot edit the privacy options for photos, videos, and albums that you didn't upload to your profile.*

Method One Of Two

How To Make A Single Picture Private


1. Go to Facebook or launch Facebook application on your device. This will open your News Feed if you're logged into Facebook.

*If you aren't logged into Facebook, enter your email address and password to do so.*

2. Go to your profile. Click your name in the top-right side of the Facebook page.
 3. Click on the "Photos" tab.
4. Select a photo category. Click a category tab (e.g., Your Photos ) near the top of the page.
5. Select a photo. Click a photo that you want to make private. This will open the photo.
*The photo must be one that you uploaded, not just one of you that someone else uploaded.*
6. Click the "Privacy" icon. This icon generally resembles a silhouette of a person (or two people) that you'll find below and to the right of your name in the upper-right side of the photo. A drop-down menu will appear.
*If clicking this icon results in a menu that says Edit Post Privacy , click Edit Post Privacy to go to the post, then click the privacy icon at the top of the post before continuing.*

7. Click on "Only Me" . This option is in the expanded drop-down menu. Doing so will immediately change your photo's privacy so that only you can see it.

Making an Album Private

3. Click on the "Photos" tab. You'll find this below the cover photo that's at the top of your Facebook page.
