Sharing photos remains as one of the most popular features for users on Facebook.
Statistics show that 300 million photos are uploaded on this top social media site on a daily basis.
Numerous photo apps have also been developed allowing users to be more creative in posting and sharing their photos.
Unknown to many social media users, Facebook places more emphasis on photos that are shared, ranking these higher in the newsfeed than posts by users without images.
Apart from uploading them on your wall and albums, another way to share a great photo with friends is by tagging them.
When you a tag a person in a photo, it immediately shows up on his or her wall.
The photo specifies the owner and the person or persons tagged in it.
People can then like the photo.
They may not necessarily be friends with the owner but friends with the person tagged in that particular photo.
Some people may be happy with this, but there are others, for various reasons, who do not wish to be tagged.
This should not present a problem, however, as Facebook provides its users with the option to untag themselves from a picture.
Previously in the old profile, the option to remove the tag was easy to find as it sat right beside the name of the person, below the photo.
With the introduction of Timeline, however, the process of untagging yourself from a photo has changed.
