This How.com.vn teaches you how to require manual approval for tags added by your Facebook friends when you’re using an Android.
Steps
Blocking Tags on Your Posts
Open Facebook on your Android. It’s the blue icon with a white ″f″ inside. You’ll usually find it on the home screen or in the app drawer.- Use this method if you don't want your Facebook friends to be able to tag other Facebook users on your content without your approval.
Tap the ≡ menu. It’s near the top-right corner of Facebook.
Tap Account Settings. It’s near the top of the menu.
Tap Timeline and tagging. It’s in the second group of settings.
Tap Review tags people add to your posts before the tags appear on Facebook.
Slide the ″Tag Review″ switch to the On (blue) position. Now you’ll receive a notification each time one of your friends tags someone else in one of your posts. If you choose to deny the tag, it will not show up on your post.Advertisement
