To edit the privacy settings for photo albums you've posted:

1. Go to your timeline and click on the Photos section
2. Use the audience selector tool under each album to control who can see your photos

A few important notes:

• The privacy setting for your Cover Photos album is always public.
  
• If there's a photo of you in an album that someone else posted, only the person who posted it can change the album privacy. If you don't like the photo, you can remove a tag or escalate the issue.
  
• If you share a high resolution photo or album with someone, that person will be able to download those photos.
  
• Unlike other photo albums you create, you can choose an audience for individual photos in your Wall Photos and Mobile Uploads albums. Each time you post a new photo, you pick who sees that photo using the audience selector.
