If you ever went to a social gathering or a trip with friends, you&#8217;ve clicked a bunch of photos, and now you&#8217;d like to post it on social media and let that friend or group of friends know they&#8217;re also in those photos, tagging is the best way to do the same!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To tag someone on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> is to keep a record of your and your friend&#8217;s connection on social media. Tagging also provides a link for people to explore the person&#8217;s profile you&#8217;ve tagged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, let&#8217;s explore the three fundamental ways to tag someone on Facebook, keeping in mind your friend&#8217;s privacy settings that might affect how you tag.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"did-you-know\">Did you know?<\/h2>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>You can tag maximum 50 people on your photos on Facebook!<\/p><cite>Facebook<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Read:<a href=\"https:\/\/randomtools.io\/blog\/facebook-monetization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Facebook Monetization in 2023 \u2013 The Whats\u2019 and Hows\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-tag-someone-on-facebook-through-comments-and-statuses\">How to tag someone on Facebook through comments and statuses?<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-52-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Tag someone on Facebook \" class=\"wp-image-7060\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-52-1024x576.jpg 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-52-300x169.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-52-768x432.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-52-1536x864.jpg 1536w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-52-150x84.jpg 150w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-52.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you post a status update on Facebook, you can tag that particular friend by typing an &#8216;<strong>@<\/strong>&#8216; symbol in a text message section. When you type &#8216;<strong>@<\/strong>,&#8217; a new window with a list of your friends will appear below the text, you can either keep typing your friend&#8217;s username or select it from the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find and select the name from the list and click <strong>Enter<\/strong>. The username tagged in the status or comment will be highlighted in blue color. Doing so will successfully tag them on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with friends from your friends&#8217; list, you can also tag people with business accounts, group members, friends of friends, etc. You can follow the same method to tag other people on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before doing so, stay aware of the privacy policies set by the people you tag on Facebook, as tagging them will also notify them about your post.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-tag-someone-on-facebook-you-were-with\">How to tag someone on Facebook you were with?<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-53-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Tag someone on Facebook \" class=\"wp-image-7061\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-53-1024x576.jpg 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-53-300x169.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-53-768x432.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-53-1536x864.jpg 1536w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-53-150x84.jpg 150w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-53.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook allows you to include more features in your posts, such as feelings, location, check-in, etc. One of these options is to mention friends you were with at an event and a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To tag friends you were with, click the <strong>Tag friends<\/strong> option (a blue person silhouette icon) with a tag next to it. You can also include a search box to enter your friend&#8217;s username. Use the box to have one or more friends and tag them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: You can only tag people who&#8217;re your friends using this technique since you&#8217;re claiming to be with them in photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click <strong>Done<\/strong> when you&#8217;re done, and you can see a new list with your name and friends&#8217; names on the top of your status. Now just like the first technique, this also allows your friends to see the post you&#8217;ve tagged them.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-tag-someone-on-facebook-photos\">How to tag someone on Facebook photos?<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-54-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Tag someone on Facebook \" class=\"wp-image-7062\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-54-1024x576.jpg 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-54-300x169.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-54-768x432.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-54-1536x864.jpg 1536w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-54-150x84.jpg 150w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-design-54.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tagging someone on Facebook photos will allow them to add their name to a <strong>With<\/strong> section in that photo&#8217;s description. You can also identify them by simply moving your cursor along their faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas the <strong>Photos of you<\/strong> section will contain people you&#8217;ve tagged in your Facebook photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to tag an already posted picture on Facebook, open that particular image and click the <strong>Tag<\/strong> icon on the top right corner of your screen and click on the face you want to tag. You can now enter your friend&#8217;s name or their friends and pages as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the profile you&#8217;ve tagged is private, you can still do the same until the owner approves the tag manually. If they&#8217;ve disabled the tag option altogether, you might not see it while tagging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to tag your own photo while uploading it? Click <strong>Edit<\/strong> on the top-left of the image and select <strong>Tag photo<\/strong> from the left side. Now go ahead with the same steps and enter names.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>All three methods are viable for tagging someone on Facebook. You can use the <strong>@username<\/strong> method anywhere you want to highlight a friend or bring their attention to your posts. You can share links to public posts whenever you want them to see it on Facebook.<\/p>\n<div class=\"likebtn_container\" style=\"\"><!-- LikeBtn.com BEGIN --><span class=\"likebtn-wrapper\"  data-identifier=\"post_7022\"  data-site_id=\"63451ab7943ec9522b1d4658\"  data-theme=\"custom\"  data-btn_size=\"35\"  data-icon_l=\"thmb7-u\"  data-icon_d=\"thmb7-d\"  data-icon_size=\"20\"  data-icon_l_c=\"#81d742\"  data-icon_d_c=\"#dd3333\"  data-brdr_c=\"#1e73be\"  data-f_size=\"18\"  data-f_family=\"Comic Sans MS\"  data-ef_voting=\"wobble\"  data-show_like_label=\"false\"  data-share_size=\"large\"  data-style=\"\"  data-unlike_allowed=\"\"  data-show_copyright=\"\"  data-item_url=\"https:\/\/randomtools.io\/blog\/how-to-tag-someone-on-facebook-2\/\"  data-item_title=\"How to tag someone on Facebook?\"  data-item_image=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Learn-How-to-Quickly-and-Easily-Send-Your-Favourite-Snapchat-GIFs-2.png\"  data-item_date=\"2023-03-15T08:09:00+00:00\"  data-engine=\"WordPress\"  data-plugin_v=\"2.6.46\"  data-prx=\"\/blog\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=likebtn_prx\"  data-event_handler=\"likebtn_eh\" ><\/span><!-- LikeBtn.com END --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to know how to tag someone on Facebook?
