Facebook – How to Get Tagged Photos in Groups to Appear in Profile

This isn't going to be the answer you'd like to here but sadly no. It's not possible. That setting only works going forward so you'll need to sort out your old tags manually.

I've found three source that indicate that what you expect is just not how Facebook photo tagging works.

I don't know if this is the current behavior, but it seems that in 2012, when you asked the question, this was the behavior. And also on 2014-5 when those answers in the sources were given.

• Tagging Photos in Groups?

  Photos from Groups don't show on Timelines. They may show in their Newsfeed depending upon if they are a member of the Group and follow it.

• Tag someone and myself in a 'group',but the "tag photo" not showed on timeline.

  Tags within a group will only show within a group.

• Why can't I see photos from a public group on my timeline photos of me?

  Groups don't work that way...tagging is a type of notification. You can share the album to your Timeline if you want. But note if the album is deleted from the Group, it's deleted from your Timeline.
