You can easily connect with people in different countries from sitting in one country. With the help of this platform, people can share thousands of pictures on their profiles and can easily tag their friends and family members. You can set the privacy setting for every picture that you are posting on Facebook. This means you can set your picture settings to public, friends, private, or friends of friends to see your pictures.

However, if you are not on the friends of friends list you may not be able to see the pictures.
