How to remove Smart tags in Libby?

Published in Libby Tags 2 mins read


While the reference provided details on removing a tag from a specific title, Libby handles different tag types, including regular custom tags and Smart Tags like "Notify Me" or "Liked," in varying ways. The steps described in the reference specifically detail how to remove a regular tag you've applied from a particular book or title, not necessarily how to remove the definition of a tag or manage all types of Smart Tags.

Based on the provided reference, here is the process to remove a tag you have applied from a specific title in Libby:

To remove a tag from a title you have tagged:

1.  **Tap Tags**: Navigate to your list of tags within the Libby app.
2.  **Select a tag**: Choose the specific tag that is applied to the title you wish to modify.
3.  **Tap**: On the selected tag's screen, locate and tap the icon (this is typically a menu icon or similar symbol, often found on the right side).
4.  **Select the tag to remove**: Scroll to the bottom of the options presented and select the specific tag you want to remove from the title. This step ensures you are targeting the correct tag if a title has multiple tags.
5.  **Tap Remove From Title**: Confirm the action to remove the selected tag from the specific book or title.

This process, as outlined in the reference, focuses on managing tags *per title* rather than deleting tag categories entirely or managing system-generated Smart Tags. Removing a Smart Tag like "Notify Me" for a series typically involves managing the series notification setting, and the "Liked" tag is removed by un-liking the title.

**Summary Table:**
