How Do I Designate My Flickr Contacts As Friends And Family?

To designate your Flickr contacts as friends or family, log into Flickr and navigate to the People menu at the top, selecting List. You can add contacts as friends or family from this section. For each member’s account, click the white "Following" button on their profile banner; it will turn blue upon hovering, and clicking it confirms their contact status. You can mark someone as a "friend" or "family" to facilitate content sharing specifically with those groups, rather than all your contacts.

To add existing Flickr users as friends or family, visit their profile and select the "Following" option next to your profile photo. When you add someone as a contact, you can choose to set them as a friend, family, or both. The privacy settings allow your content to be seen by designated groups—those marked as family can see your content, and so can those marked as friends.

Adding contacts is straightforward: select the Add people button below any photo or video, enter the user's Flickr name, choose the correct account from the results, and click Done. To see your existing contacts, click "Following," find the desired person, then click Edit in the "You list them as" column to mark them as a friend and/or family.

In summary, you must follow a user’s account on Flickr to designate them as a friend or family member and subsequently set their contact status accordingly.

How Do I Mark A Friend Or Family Member On Flickr?

To designate someone as a "Friend" or "Family" on Flickr, start by marking them from your contact list. After you follow them, click on "Following" near your profile photo and find the desired person. In the last column titled "You list them as," click "Edit," then check the "Also mark as a Friend" and/or "Also mark as Family" boxes. This allows them to see photos set with corresponding privacy settings. Note that you can only manage these designations via the website, as marking cannot be done within the app.

If your family members are not on Flickr, you can invite them to join and then follow them once they create an account. Contacts marked as Friends or Family can view certain images based on your settings. Flickr offers three statuses for contacts: Family, Friends, and just Contacts.

Furthermore, remember that only you control who sees your private images, and adjustments can be made within your privacy settings. To share photos on social media, utilize the Share icon for individual images or albums, and generate links as needed. Following others and marking them appropriately enhances your Flickr community experience and helps you stay connected with friends and family. Always ensure you have the correct privacy settings for your photos based on your contacts' designations.

How Do I Find And Unfollow People On Flickr?

On Flickr, you can manage your connections easily from any page displaying your Profile header, such as Photostream, About, or Albums. To follow someone, simply click their name to view their profile, then click Follow. Conversely, to unfollow someone, go to their profile and hover over the 'Following' box, then click Unfollow. If you want to expand your Flickr community, you can find and follow members from your address book, or search for users by entering their names in the search bar.

It’s important to note that if you're following someone who hasn’t posted any pictures, you may find it challenging to unfollow them. There's no batch-unfollow option, so you'll have to do it individually by accessing each profile. You can also block users by going to their about page and selecting "Block user," which will remove them as a follower. If you're looking to keep track of which accounts follow you back, you can view your contacts list under www. flickr. com/people/me/contacts/.

Additionally, you should engage with those who show interest in your work by following them back. For any specific inquiries about navigating Flickr’s community features, consider checking the Notifications Center or FAQs for tips and assistance.
