Is there a way to stop people from sharing your picture on FB??
-
I know you can untag yourself, but I think the only real way is to ask them not to post the photo..? :T
-
@chopsuey: I was afraid of that. It is DHs sister, so how do I ask that? I can't take seeing her call R her baby girl any more.
-
if you make it so only your friends can see it, I think even if they tag themselves/share it, only YOUR friends who are also friends with them can see it.
to test maybe if you have a friend in common with someone who is sharing your pics, ask them if you can delete them for a test and see if they can still see the pics?
-
@Smurfette: is she sharing your photo (that you took) or a picture of R that she took?
If it's one of your photos you can change the privacy setting so only your friends can see it! -
@chopsuey: she is sharing pictures I took and posted. I just told DH he better talk with her, I can't take it any more.
@Mrs. Champagne: my settings are so only friends can see the pictures so how can she share it. I know others can see it cause people will like them and I don't know who they are.
-
@Smurfette: FB is so annoying! One of the reasons I shut down my acct a long time ago. Hope he talks to her soon!
-
just like @Mrs. Champagne: said if your settings are so that only your friends can see your pictures then even if someone shares it only your mutual friends (who would see it anyways from you posting it) will see it.
eta: is she literally "sharing" the pictures or is she saving the pictures you post to her computer and then uploading them to fb?
-
@Smurfette: so even if your general photo settings is "Only friends' some times you have to check the settings of each individual picture. Bc I think FB has it defaulted that friends of friends tagged can see your pictures. So sometimes if I tag DH in a pic his friends -whom I'm not friends with- can see that specific pic and comment on it.
Or you can just exclude your SIL from all pictures you post as well! She will be none the wiser!
-
@jmarionsmith: She is sharing them, cause I got a notification. I just tried to double check my settings and I can't find about pictures on my phone. So I will double check tomorrow, but I am 99% sure it is set up so only friends can see pictures. So I am confused.....
@chopsuey: Maybe I will just post to IG. She doesn't know I am on that:)
-
@locavore_mama: Thanks! I didn't know that but I can't figure out how to make it that way from my phone. And I am close to making it so she can't see pictures!
-
@Smurfette: you can only see on a computer. when you click on a picture, right under your name should be a 2 person bust gray icon. If you hover it will tell you what the privacy setting of that specific picture is.

I had this same problem last month. My in laws shared an entire album of C's newborn pictures. Turns out since my settings are "friends only", none of their friends could see what they shared unless they are friends with me too. Pointless for them to share any of my stuff, but they don't realize their friends can't see it.
I would hide pictures from her if the captions are annoying you!
-
@Smurfette: I had this problem with someone too and so now when I post individual pics or albums, before I do a description I have "please do not hit the "share" button, if you would like a copy of the picture(s) I would be happy to email you".
So far, no email for those pics, and no more sharing
-
I'm bad... But I put photo offenders under 'acquaintances' and then I post my photos in the 'friends except acquaintances' option. They have no idea
-
I don't put pictures up. That solves my problems largely.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: This. I never announced on FB that I was ever pregnant. I've never posted a pic of my 14.5 month old
-
@Mrs. Jacks: I hate that my Aunt can't see a picture cause one personas ruining it....... But I am getting so annoyed I might have too.
-
@Smurfette: set up a private blog for your aunt. Give the link to only people you trust. Problem solved
You don't get comments and likes, but who cares!
-
@locavore_mama: Ok, I checked just now, all my pictures are friends only, so how can some lady I don't know see the picture and like it when she shares it??
@Mrs. Jacks: I just mentioned my aunt as an example, it would be a lot that I would want to see the pictures, just not my SIL
@grizz: how do I do that??
-
Is your husband tagged in the photo? If she's friends with him (I'm assuming) that might be how she's able to see and share it.
-
@Smurfette: I have a filter set up. Only certain people can see photos!
-
We shared our photos off FB because we didn't want them all on there and DH's sister took it upon herself to download our pictures and put them on her FB and then pitched a fit when we asked her to take them down. We no longer share any pictures with her and I block her from seeing the ones I put on FB. It's the only way when she ignores our wishes about how they are shared.
-
@Pepper: @Smurfette: @grizz: do you get a notification when someone shares a photo you posted? Share option should have the ability to be disabled!
-
If she is a friend she can download it and hit share unless you click share with friends except -------. You can also put her on restricted profile, and she won't see anything. We are worried about sil and mil downloading photos and sharing so we will probably only share photo books. If you email them a photo, they scan it to Facebook! Who does that? Photo books solve that problem, as it makes it hard to scan the photo in. Now if future kiddos go visit they will probably take bunch of photos and put on Facebook and block me from seeing they did it. How do you stop that!?!
-
@grizz: I do this for my MIL as well. Everyone except is my most used feature of FB photos.
-
@locavore_mama: Yep, you get a notification. I wish sharing could be disabled, it's annoying!
-
@Smurfette: You go to the person's profile and click on 'friends' next to their profile picture. From here you go to 'edit friends list'. Then select 'acquaintances'. Then when I put up a pic, in the far right hand corner is the audience selection. I select 'friends except acquaintances.' Even if my husband is tagged in them and he's friends with those people, they can't see it.
-
@locavore_mama: I do get a notification. I agree we should have the right to not allow someone to share.
@grizz: Thanks! Going to do that! -
@dc yoga bee: if I found out my mil was putting pictures of our son on Facebook and hiding it from us, shit would hit the fan. She would only ever get supervised visits with him, so we could make sure she never even TOOK any pictures since she obviously couldn't be trusted. Maybe threaten them with that consequence and see if it works.
