You are surely aware that with a Facebook profile it is possible to create photo albums so that you can share your party photos with friends and contacts.

Using a party album as an example, it is possible that you may not want to share this with all of your contacts, but rather only those who were present. This is possible with Facebook’s filter function which limits access to photo albums. Here is how it can be used.

Once on the profile page, click on the "Photos" button and "Create a photo album" photo.

It is here where you will apply the filter. In the privacy settings, it is possible to choose who can access the album during its creation: everyone, people on your networks and your friends, your friends and their friends or only your friends. But it is possible to refine this filter with the "Customise" section by authorising all of your friends with the exception of a few.

If you want to change the filtering settings, you simply have to visit the same "Photos" section, find the album, move the mouse cursor over it and click on the pen button that appears.

From here, it is possible the edit an album. Either adding, editing or deleting photos, change the order of the photos, and even what interest us – the access settings.
