So what exactly can people see who only have limited profile access?

When you go into your application settings, go to Photos > Edit Settings> Click on Profile tab> Edit Custom Settings, u can type in the buddy’s name who u don’t want seeing photos. It’ll be all the photos i think, don’t quote me, but the religious relative(s) im blocking from the pics will just live with not seeing me @ a bar @ a innocent bday happy hr.

Great article! Is there a workaround for this problem yet?

This may not in fact be a glitch, but rather an area of common misunderstanding by Facebook users as there is no All encompassing “photo privacy” control in your privacy settings. This blog points out a rather interesting fact of privacy, or a lack there of that is important if you wish to keep certain photos free from the prying eyes.

Through my discussions with Steve Schwartz at RateMyStudentRental.com, we’ve come to realize that you need to really dig into your privacy settings and understand what they do. As Steven mentions in the blog, above, I was able to “backdoor” into his photos merely by clicking on a few links.

Point here, go into each photo album and review the content. If there are images that you’d like to keep between you and your friends and away from potential employers or others, set the privacy settings in the Photo “Album Privacy Settings”. There you will be able to set access for your “Limited Profile”, and can also block or allow limited people access to individual albums.

Great job Steve on this find! I’ve personally paid attention to how open and accessible my profile is as a result of reading this post!
