Facebook Not Testing Photo Tag Request

Facebook appeared to be testing a photo tag request and approval system on a small subset of users. The feature sends a request to a user each time they’re tagged in a photo, and the tag won’t appear until the user approves it. However, the feature — at least as seen in the screenshots — is an older feature, generated when someone who is not friends with you tags people in photos you own.

If someone who you’re not friends with tries to tag a photo that you own, the action will generate the photo tag request.
