Facebook Testing Photo Tagging Requests And Approvals

While many users regret being tagged in compromising photos, there have been few ways to protect yourself, aside from some basic privacy settings combined with rushing to immediately untag yourself once you’ve been tagged. Now Facebook is testing a new feature which many of us have wanted for a long time: photo tag requests in which the user must approve being tagged.

While the person who tipped us off about this feature claims that the request came from a user who wasn’t a friend, we haven’t been able to figure out a way to tag non-friends in photos.
