3 Quick ways to hide your pictures on Facebook

Sharing pictures on Facebook can be a great thing. But sometimes you may have photos you want to keep hidden from relatives, co-workers, or future employers. Fear not: there are ways to keep your pictures private.

1. Hide that image on your timeline

Step 1: Log in to your Facebook account and go to your timeline by clicking on your name in the upper right corner.

Step 2:  View the allowed photos posted on your timeline. Click on ' Photo ' in the header. You'll see it under your cover photo and between the ' About ' and ' Friends ' links . All photos allowed on your timeline will appear.

Step 3: Select the photo you want to hide. As you look through the photos, if you see one that you want to hide, hover over it and click the pencil icon that appears. Select ' Hide from timeline ' Repeat as many times as you want.

Note that this process will work, to some extent, for photos you've already tagged. However, you do not have complete control of the photos because you are not the one who uploaded them. So even if you hide them from your timeline, you should know that other people tagged in them will still be able to see them.
