I got tagged in a picture on facebook and for some reason no one else can see it on my friends list. I was tagged in 3 pictures from 3 different people and only 1 of them is viewable. Why is that?

Thanks

Mauybe people don't want certain kinds of people to see them?

Perhaps the people tagging you have privacy settings on their own pictures. If you wish for others to see these pictures then you'd probably have to save them onto your own profile.

There is your answer. Those people must not be friends with the person that tagged you or something so you will have to get them onto your profile or have them add that person with the pictures as a friend

So if someone adds me and has no mutual friends they can't see any pictures that were tagged of me from other people?

That depends upon the privacy settings "from other people." The person who places the pictures on their page has the ability to choose who sees and who does not see the pictures.

It depends on the privacy setting of the profile of the person with the pictures, for example my profile is set so that only my friends can view stuff like pictures, but some people ( alot actually from what I have seen) have it set so that anybody can view thier profile and their pictures. So that person who has the pictures of you must have their profile set on private and must ot be friends with your friends who want to view it

Sounds like a flaw. Shouldn't be able to tag someone unless they can see it. Who needs private profiles anyways, this is the internet!

No I got tagged and I could see it, but no one else could. I was on my friends facebook and I went to look and they saw nothing. If I'm tagged in it shouldn't other people still be able to see it because I was tagged in it?

Ah sorry, I was hypnotized by the similarities in our usernames. AND I'm not on Facebook enough to really know how it does its thing...BUT it appears someone else already answered.

Can't you right click on the image, copy it, and upload it yourself so your other friends can see it?
