Facebook is a popular social media platform. In this tool, there are many features for the privacy of users. One of these features is that people can hide their profiles and limit who can see their posts. Facebook has also added the ability to hide photos and make them private to its platform. So you cannot see the Facebook photos of people who activate this feature. In this blog, we want to explain how to see private Facebook photos.
Before we get into what PictureMate is, it is better to know how to make photos private on Facebook.
How to Make Your Photos Private on Facebook
There can be many reasons to limit people’s access to your photos on Facebook. In addition, there are fraudsters who abuse people’s personal information on this platform. For this reason, Facebook has some privacy settings to determine the extent of access of other users to a user’s profile and photos. You can set the user’s access to your profile and pictures. For example, you can make it so that only your friends can see your Facebook photos or these photos are hidden from everyone and visible only to you.
You can change the privacy settings for a photo or an album. Follow the steps below to make a photo private:
- Run the Facebook app.
- Scroll to the bottom of your profile page and click the Photos button.
- Tap on the uploads tab.
- Choose the photo you want to make it private.
- Tap on the three dots and select Edit post privacy.
- Now you can specify the access of people to this photo.
There are only me, public, friends, friends except, and specific friends options.
- Only me: the photo is visible only to you.
- public: Show it to everyone
- Friends: show it to friends
- Friends except: Show it to all your friends except the ones you specify.
- Specific friends: Show it to the friends you choose.
So if there is no photo on someone’s Facebook page, it may be because you are not allowed to see it. Maybe you are looking for a way to break this privacy. For this, you can use some apps which help you to see other people’s private Facebook photos. One of the tools you can use is PictureMate.
