How To Enable the Facebook Tag Review Feature
You cannot selectively prevent people from tagging you at a location, but you can turn on the tag review feature, which allows you to review anything you’ve been tagged in, whether it’s a picture or a location check-in. Here’s how:
Remove Geotags From Your Pictures Before You Upload Them to Facebook
To ensure future pictures posted to Facebook and other social media sites don’t reveal your location information, you should make sure the geotag information is never recorded in the first place. Most of the time this is done by turning off the location services setting on your smartphone’s camera application so the geotag information doesn’t get recorded in the picture’s EXIF metadata. There are also apps that help strip our the geolocation information of pictures you’ve already taken. You might want to try deGeo (iPhone) or Photo Privacy Editor (Android) to remove the geotag info from your photos before uploading them to social media sites.
Disable Location Services for Facebook on Your Mobile Phone/Device
When you first installed Facebook on your mobile phone, it probably asked for permission to use the device’s location services so it could let you “check-in” at different locations and tag photos with location information. If you don’t want Facebook knowing where you’re posting something from, you should turn off this permission in your phone’s location services settings area.
Limit Who Can See Your Posts on Facebook
Facebook’s privacy settings let you limit the visibility of future posts (such as ones with geotags in them). You can choose “Friends,” “Specific Friends,” “Only Me,” “Custom,” or “Everyone.” We advise against choosing “Everyone” unless you want the whole world knowing where you are and where you’ve been. This option applies to all future posts. Individual posts can be changed as they’re created or after they’re made, in case you want to make something more public or private later on. You can also use the “Limit Past Posts” option to change all of your old posts that might’ve been set to “Everyone” or “Friends of Friends” to “Friends Only.”
