We’ve written about Fotobounce before, here and here plus more. One of our readers asked a very good question regarding Fotobounce, “How do I download the photos that I have been tagged in?” Fotobounce seemed like the place to start, so we fired it up and navigated to our own albums. Up at the top, there is a tab that reads ‘Photos of me’, like this:

We were dismayed to see that this tab showed some of the photos the user had been tagged in but not all of them. This user had 156 tagged photos but only 34 showed up in Fotobounce. Hmmmmm…what to do? The problem wasn’t that some of the photos were old ones since the oldest tagged photo was there. We think it might have to do with the original poster’s privacy settings but we’re not sure.

Next we tried a program named Photograbber. Photograbber is free, easy to use but, alas, it didn’t work either. We downloaded the tagged photos but, again, we only got 34 of them, not the full 156. Even though Photograbber says that it will download tagged photos, it won’t download all of them. We’re not going to plug a program that doesn’t do what it advertises on Computers Made Simple so, no link here.

Right now, we’re waiting for our Facebook data download to be prepared. We’re going to check it to see if the tagged photos are in it. If not, it looks like you’ll have to download the photos one by one. That’s a pain but it’s pretty fast. You can click your way through quite a few of them fairly quickly. Just click Options when the photo is on your screen and choose download. That’s pretty fast, all in all.

We’re going to do a post on downloading your Facebook data tomorrow. By then, we will know if the tagged photos are in it or not. Stay tuned!

Thanks for reading.
