Coming Soon: New Profile Controls
Introducing new tools to help you control what goes on your profile, and who can see what you share.
Approve what goes on your profile
Now you can decide if the posts you're tagged in appear on your profile. To turn on Profile Review, go to the "How Tags Work" section of your privacy settings. Posts you choose not to include on your profile may still appear elsewhere on Facebook. Learn more about tagging.
Choose who you share with
Privacy controls have moved right next to things you share, so it's clear who sees your stuff. You can pick and choose who sees what — like share your hometown with friends, but only let family see your phone number.
Changed your mind? No problem.
Have you ever shared something with all your friends, then later wished you could limit who could see it? Now you can go back and change the audience for something after you post it.
Know what others see on your profile
Use the View As... tool to see what people see when they look at your profile.

When Tag Review is off, you can skip reviewing tags friends add to your content before they appear on Facebook. When someone who you're not friends with adds a tag to one of your posts you'll always be asked to review it.
Remember: when you approve a tag, the person tagged and their friends can see your post.

at the top right of any Facebook page and choose Privacy Settings. - Under the How Tags Work section, choose Edit Settings.
