I understand that it can be frustrating when you want to delete a post or photo on Facebook that was posted by someone else. Unfortunately, Facebook does not allow you to delete content that you did not post yourself. This is because Facebook wants to respect the privacy and autonomy of its users, even when it comes to removing content from their own profiles.
If you come across a post or photo on Facebook that you want to remove, the first step is to reach out to the person who posted it. You can send them a private message or talk to them in person, politely asking them to remove the content. Explain your reasons for wanting it removed and try to have a respectful conversation about it. Most people are understanding and willing to help if you approach them in a kind and considerate manner.
However, if the person who posted the content is unresponsive or unwilling to remove it, you still have some options to handle the situation. While you cannot delete the content from Facebook entirely, you can control its visibility on your own profile.
One option is to hide the post or photo from your timeline. To do this, go to the post on your timeline, click on the three dots in the top right corner, and select “Hide from Timeline.” This will remove the content from your profile, but it will still be visible to others who can access the original post.
Another option is to remove the tag from the post or photo. When someone tags you in a post, it may appear on your timeline. To remove the tag, go to the post, click on the three dots, and select “Remove Tag.” This will remove the post from your timeline, but it will still be visible to others who can access the original post.
Remember, while you may not have full control over the content that others post on Facebook, you do have control over your own profile and what appears on it. By utilizing the options to hide posts or remove tags, you can still maintain a level of control and privacy on your own Facebook page.
You can’t delete a post or photo on Facebook that was posted by someone else. However, you can ask the person who posted it to remove it, or you can hide it from your timeline or remove the tag to control its visibility on your own profile.
