What this question tests

Product sense for a well established social feature, finding a real remaining friction point.

How to approach it

  1. Pick a segment, for example users tagged in photos they did not approve versus users actively tagging friends.
  2. Identify a pain point: being tagged in an unflattering or unwanted photo without prior review causes real discomfort.
  3. Prioritize tag approval control over discovery features, since control over one's own image is the core trust issue here.
  4. Propose an opt in review step where tagged users approve appearing in a photo before it becomes visible to their network.
  5. Balance this against the tagger's experience, keeping the flow fast so approval does not discourage tagging altogether.
  6. Define success as reduction in tag removal requests and increase in tagger satisfaction with approval turnaround time.
