You&#8217;ve either posted something and tagged someone else, or you have seen a photo and noticed you&#8217;ve been tagged. In either case, the easiest way to remove the tag from the post is to log into your account and untag it. Then, edit the post to indicate the presence of the tagged person or remove it completely. However, you will still be unable to remove a person from your timeline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Untag_yourself_from_a_post\"><\/span>Untag yourself from a post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may have noticed that you can untag yourself from a Facebook post. When you add a tag, Facebook notifies you of the new status, but it does not notify you if you remove it. Untagging yourself from a Facebook post does not impact your privacy; however, you may not realize that it has happened. If this happens to you, try clearing your browser cookies and contacting Facebook support.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Untag_someone_else_from_a_post\"><\/span>Untag someone else from a post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve posted something on Facebook and you want to untag someone else, you&#8217;ll first need to locate the post. You&#8217;ll notice that the person&#8217;s name will be at the top of the post. If you don&#8217;t want them to see your post, you can untag them by clicking their name in the search bar and choosing &#8220;view original post.&#8221; Then, click on their profile and follow the onscreen directions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Untag_yourself_from_a_comment\"><\/span>Untag yourself from a comment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If someone tags you in a Facebook comment or post, you may wish to remove yourself from it. Facebook provides a simple way to untag yourself. Simply go to your profile, open the tagged post or comment, and then click on the three-dot menu to remove yourself. This option is available to both mobile and desktop users. To untag yourself from a Facebook comment, follow the steps outlined below:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Untag_yourself_from_a_photo\"><\/span>Untag yourself from a photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you&#8217;ve posted a photo on Facebook, you may have accidentally tagged yourself. You can undo this by going to the photo&#8217;s settings and untagging yourself. You will be prompted to enter a reason for untagging. Facebook will then ask you to remove yourself from the photo. If you disagree, you don&#8217;t have to comply. Nonetheless, you might find that the photo is a source of embarrassment to you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Untag_yourself_from_a_status\"><\/span>Untag yourself from a status<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whenever you see someone else&#8217;s post, you may notice that you have been tagged. This is because when you share a photo on Facebook, that photo appears on your timeline. Some people may even go to the extreme of tagging every single friend in a picture to increase engagement or promote their products or services. If this has happened to you, there are a few things you can do to untag yourself from a Facebook status.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Untag_yourself_from_a_location_check-in\"><\/span>Untag yourself from a location check-in<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may have noticed that you have received notifications every time someone has checked you into a location on Facebook. You can always delete these posts to ensure no one knows where you are at any given moment. However, sometimes you may not be aware of a tagged check-in, for example, if you are in a noisy bar. Then, you may not realize that you have been tagged until you get home. In such a case, it&#8217;s important to know how to untag yourself from a location check-in on Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Untag_yourself_from_a_status_update\"><\/span>Untag yourself from a status update<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can untag yourself from a Facebook status update at any time. Using the three-dot menu in the upper right-hand corner of the post will let you view its options and settings. You can also choose whether or not to make it visible to the entire public or to select a small group of friends. In the case of photos, you can also choose not to tag yourself. Once you have done this, the tagged photo or status update will no longer appear on your Timeline.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sRdzyONUgu0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"515\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"288\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Remove a Tag on Facebook If you&#8217;re wondering how to remove a tag from a post on Facebook, then you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
