While you can toggle the setting from both the web site and from the Facebook mobile app (we’ll show you how to do both), it’s slightly faster if you do it on the website.To enable timeline review via the Facebook website, log into your account and click on the small menu triangle on the upper right side of the blue navigation bar, then select “Settings”, as seen below.In the left hand navigation pane, select “Timeline and Tagging”.In the “Timeline and Tagging” menu look for the entry “Review posts friends tag you in before they appear on your timeline?”; by default this setting is off. This means if your spouse tags you in tons of family photos, there’s no way to say “Approve everything from user XYZ, I trust them”, and you’re left manually approving all those posts before they appear on your timeline.Those caveats aside, it’s an extremely handy way to stop your friends from seeing your uncle’s crazy political rants (which he insists on tagging you in) or everyone in your family from seeing the multi-level-marketing garbage your coworker is always tagging everyone in.Turning on and using timeline review is a pretty straightforward affair.

Hiding the post from your timeline stops those things from happening, but it doesn’t delete the post or remove the tag. Tap Add to Timelineon an individual post to approve it, or tap Hideto ignore it.
