Hide Facebook Photo Stream: Disable Photo Strip, Row on your Profile Posted: 14 Jun 2011 09:14 AM PDT Facebook implemented the photo stream, a useful addition to your facebook profile which shows your recently tagged photos under your profile name below the new bio. But unfortunately thanks to some of those "genius" friends and stupid apps, that row of those tagged photos end up being useless and out of your control. Hide the Row of Photos below Facebook Profile NameSo, if you want to disable your facebook profile’s photostream and not show the strip of tagged photos in a row, here is a simple tip you can use to hide them from anyone viewing your profile. Step 1 : Click [Account ▼] on the top-right of the navigation and go to Privacy Settings[1]. Step 2 : On the Privacy Settings page, scroll down and click on Step 3 : On the Customize settings page scroll down to find Things others share section and click the Step 4 : On the popup window click the dropdown menu to select Customize. Step 5 : In the next window under Make this visible to select the option Only Me. By choosing "Only Me" you’re specifying that only you can see the photo row on your facebook profile, while the rest of the world won’t see it at all, unless you specify certain people in step5 above to see them. The photo steam is great way to show your life activity on facebook and some people have found ways to use it creatively by displaying a profile banner using tagged photos. Tip : In case, if you want to know how your facebook profile looks to a certain friend (to check if hiding a relationship status from your ex, or showing status to selected friends is working or not) then go to the Customize settings page [step 3 above] and look for the button [Preview My Profile] at the top right. Click it and add + select name of the person to see how your profile looks to him/her. (see above) I hope this trick of hiding the facebook photo strip on your profile will help you and sometimes even save from embarrassment from being tagged on some really offensive picture etc. Let us know in comments if you faced any situation like this.
