Facebook has many tools to help you untag someone. You can also block a person from tagging you or contacting you in the future. Reporting a person only works for inappropriate or abusive content. This option should be a last resort. Not everyone uses Facebook the same way, and their usage of tagging varies greatly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Untagging\"><\/span>Untagging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Untagging someone on Facebook is simple enough. To do so, simply tap on the person&#8217;s name in the post and press the backspace key. You can also use the Facebook app icon &#8211; a white &#8220;f&#8221; on a dark blue background &#8211; to open your News Feed and click the &#8216;Untag&#8217; button. A popup window will appear that asks you to confirm your actions. When the person&#8217;s name is selected, you&#8217;ll have to enter their email or cell phone number.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Untagging_yourself\"><\/span>Untagging yourself<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Untagging yourself on Facebook is an option available to users who don&#8217;t want to be mentioned in photos or posts. If you&#8217;ve posted a photo of yourself, you can untag yourself by clicking on the downward arrow at the bottom of the photo. Untagging yourself on Facebook also prevents your name from being listed in comments and replies on your posts. However, if you don&#8217;t want your name to be included in photos or comments, you may want to remove it altogether.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Untagging_someone_else\"><\/span>Untagging someone else<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve accidentally tagged someone in a post, you can easily remove the tagging. Facebook has many features, so it can be difficult to navigate them all. This article will teach you how to untag a Facebook post. Just follow these steps to remove the tagging. This will also prevent the person from seeing your post. But before you do it, make sure you have their permission. Make sure you follow the guidelines carefully to avoid spamming.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tagging_yourself_in_a_photo\"><\/span>Tagging yourself in a photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you accidentally tagged yourself in a photo and don&#8217;t want others to see it, you can untag yourself on Facebook by following these simple steps. Once you&#8217;ve identified the photo you&#8217;re in and clicked on it, you can then click on &#8220;Untag&#8221; on the post&#8217;s tagged person. Hover your mouse over the tagged person&#8217;s name to view their profile. Hovering over the person&#8217;s name will bring up their profile, and clicking the &#8220;Untag&#8221; button will remove your tagging from the photo.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tagging_yourself_in_a_post\"><\/span>Tagging yourself in a post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve posted something on Facebook, it&#8217;s possible to see it tagged with your name. However, you may not want to appear in these posts, and it is possible to untag yourself. To untag yourself, go to the &#8220;Who can add things to my Timeline&#8221; section and change the option &#8220;Review posts friends tag me in before they appear on my Timeline.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tagging_a_post\"><\/span>Tagging a post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have accidentally tagged someone on Facebook, you can untag the post by clicking on the name in question, and then pressing backspace. Facebook also allows users to untag other people, but you have to know how to do it properly. Tap on the app icon, which looks like a white &#8220;f&#8221; on a dark blue background, and select the name of the person you wish to untag. You&#8217;ll see an option to enter their email address or cell phone number.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tagging_a_photo\"><\/span>Tagging a photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook allows users to tag anyone in their photos. However, sometimes the person who is tagged may not want their name attached to the photo. In these cases, users can untag them from the photo. They can do so by visiting their profile or clicking on their name. After clicking on the person&#8217;s name, they will see a blue underline and will have the option to remove themselves from the photo.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FN1G0ohB2XE\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"485\" height=\"271\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Untag Someone on Facebook If you are wondering how to untag someone on Facebook, then you are not alone.
