The people who can see your photos on Facebook are determined by the privacy settings you choose for each photo or photo album. You have control over selecting your audience.
Understanding Facebook Photo Privacy
Facebook allows you to set the visibility for individual photos you upload or for entire photo albums. This means you decide who has permission to view them. The specific audience you select dictates who sees your content in their feed, on your profile, or when they visit your photos section.
Common privacy options often include:
- Public: Anyone on Facebook or off Facebook.
- Friends: Only your Facebook friends.
- Friends except...: All your friends except specific people you choose.
- Specific friends: Only the friends you name.
- Only Me: Only you.
- Custom: A combination, allowing you to include and exclude specific people or lists.
Note: While individual photos can have settings, album settings can override or work in conjunction with individual photo settings. Changing the privacy of an album is a quick way to manage the visibility of multiple photos at once.
How to Change Who Can See Your Photo Albums
Based on Facebook's guidance, you can easily adjust the audience for your photo albums. Here are the steps:
- In the top right of Facebook, tap your profile icon/picture, then tap your name to go to your profile.
- Scroll down and tap Photos.
- Tap the album you'd like to change the privacy settings for.
- Tap the three dots (...) or similar options menu and select Edit.
- Tap Audience to choose who can see your album.
- Tap to select a new audience (Example: Friends).
By following these steps, you can ensure that your photos are only visible to the group you intend. Remember to check the settings periodically to make sure they still align with your preferences.
Your Facebook photos are visible to the audience you have selected in your privacy settings, which you can manage album by album or for individual posts.
