This Itechguide teaches you how to hide photos on Facebook. The guide covers steps to hide photos on Facebook from a PC and the Facebook Apps.
Option 1: Hide Photos Using a PC (Facebook.com)
- Open Facebook.com from your PC or Mac. Then, if you have not yet signed in, sign in with your Facebook account.
- On the top left of your Facebook News Feed, click your profile name.

- Beneath your profile picture, click Photos.

From this point, there are two ways you can hide a photo: 1, hide a photo uploaded by another person from your timeline. 2, hide your own photo so that no other person can see it.
Method 1: Hide a Photo from Your Timeline
- From your Facebook Photos page, click the picture you want to hide.
- On the top right of the photo, beneath the name of the person that uploaded the photo, click the Allowed on timeline drop-down.

- Then select Hidden from timeline.

- Another way to hide a picture you were tagged is to hover over the picture (from your Photos page). Then, on the top right of the photo, click the Edit icon (looks like a pencil).
- When you click the pencil, a list of options will be displayed. To hide the photo from your timeline, click Hide from page.

Method 2: Hide Your Photo from Everyone Else
Use the steps below to hide a photo you uploaded but do not want any other person to view the photo…
- From your Facebook Photos page, click Albums.

- Click on the Album with the photo you want to hide.

- Then click the Facebook photo you want to hide.
- When the photo opens for editing, on the top right, click the drop-down beside the date the photo was uploaded. Then, from the displayed options, select Only me. If Only me option is not displayed, click More…


- The drop-down will now show a padlock icon – indicating that you are the only person that can view this photo. The photo is now hidden from any other person, including your Facebook Friends!

Option 2: Hide Photos via the Android App
- Open the Facebook App on your Android phone. Then, if you have not signed in to the App before, sign in with your Facebook account.

- Then, tap the 3 dots on the top right of the photo. If the dots are not displayed, tap anywhere on the photo.

- From the list of displayed options (displayed when you tapped the 3 dots), tap Edit privacy.

- When Edit privacy opens, tap Only me. If the Only me option is not displayed, to display it, tap See more.

- Finally, to return to the photo, tap the arrow on the left side of Edit privacy.

Option 3: Hide Photos Using the iPhone App
- Open the Facebook App on your iPhone. Then, if you have not yet signed in to the App, sign in with your Facebook account.

- On the top left of the App, tap your profile picture. Your Facebook profile will open.

- When your Facebook profile opens, scroll down. Then tap Photos.

- Then on the top right of Your photos screen, tap Albums and tap to open the album with the photo you want to hide on Facebook.
