Also its all the more annoying when you are not really a part of the pictures or post but are being dragged into some Facebook picture or post which you did not want to be a part of? Well it happens to me a lot, but not anymore. I did play around with Facebook settings and discovered that there is a very simple way out to avoid such mess by using a simple settings which helps me prevent Facebook friends from tagging me in their pictures and post until I approve of it.

In this small tutorial, I will show you how simple it is to turn on this privacy setting in Facebook and within few minutes you can also turn it on. Simply follow the steps below.
