Facebook – Untag theself from a Facebook comment

facebookfacebook-commentsfacebook-privacyfacebook-tags

Some friend (or sometimes a spam application) has tagged me (and possibly others) within a comment on a random post on another friend's timeline.

enter image description here

Problem: It is annoying to be associated with that post that I know nothing about. As the post is public, all of my friends and half of the country see it. I have a friend who gets tagged a lot in public posts and as a result she (involuntarily) pollutes my news feed with insensitive content.

Question: How to remove the tag from that comment?

Note: I don't want to untag myself from a picture or post, but from a comment.

There seems to be no control to remove the tag, nor on the post itself nor on the comment nor on my name. The three dots on the right with the tooltip "Hide or report this" only has these options:

Hide comment - Give feedback or report this comment

None of these two options sound like they will actually untag me.

Best Answer

There is no option to untag yourself from a comment. So many people have raised this issue but Facebook still has not included this feature.

See Arie L 's answer (from Facebook Help Team) on the same question.
