3 Ways to Untag Yourself From Facebook Posts
Method 1: Untag From Facebook Posts Using the Three Dots
Step 1: Find the post you’re tagged in. If you can’t remember which post it was, head to your Activity Log (also called Notifications) and look for recent activity that shows you were tagged.
Step 2: Look for the three dots in the top right-hand corner of the post. Click here to see the available options.
Step 3: Click the Remove Tag option. Press OK to confirm you really want to do this. Once complete, you will no longer appear as tagged on that post. Remember, the post is still visible to its original audience.
Method 2: Hide Posts From Your Profile
This method won’t untag from Facebook posts but it will stop that post appearing on your profile. You can use this to avoid posts you don’t mind being tagged in but that might be emotional or simply mildly embarrassing.
Step 1: Instead of going directly to the post, head to your own Facebook profile page. The post in which you were recently tagged should be visible on your profile.
Step 2: Click the three dots again but this time, click Hide From Profile.
Method 3: Report a Post That Breaches Your Privacy
If you followed the untag from Facebook steps but feel that the photo or post breaches your privacy in some way, you can report it and ask Facebook to remove it. Use this method if someone has accidentally shared your address, employment details, or images of your children, for example. Facebook will only remove photos that they feel violate their community standards or break the law in some way.

Step 2: Fill out all the requested details and press Send. You may have to wait several days for a decision from Facebook. Remember, you can’t use this form just because you don’t like a particular photo or post. It’s only for situations where someone’s privacy is at risk.
FAQs
Does untagging myself take the Facebook post down?
No, the post will remain up. If it’s problematic or breaches your privacy, you can report the post to Facebook.
Can I untag myself from multiple Facebook posts at once?
Unfortunately not — you need to work through each post one at a time. Use your activity log to see all the posts you’ve been tagged in.
