Turn On Profile Review Feature in Facebook

Earlier just anybody could post anything tagged with your name and it would appear on your facebook profile (also called timeline). Facebook has now rolled a new security feature to take care of this – called Profile Review. Profile Review keeps photos and posts tagged with your name from showing up on your profile without your approval. Now when someone posts anything with your name tagged, you are asked first to confirm the post. The post would appear on your timeline only after your approval. Here is how you can turn on this feature in facebook :

  1. Visit the facebook web site at www.facebook.com and login to your facebook account.
  2. Click on the downward arrow next to Home and select Privacy Settings from the top-right corner as shown.
