▶️ What is tagging on Facebook and how to do it

Do you want to know how to mention another person or page in your Facebook posts? We explain what tagging is on Facebook and how to do itso that your publications reach more people and, above all, the profiles that appear in them.

The technical explanation that Facebook gives in this regard is that “when you tag someone you create a link to their profile”. This means that when you tag someone in a post, you can also add that content to their timeline

What is tagging on Facebook and how is it done?

This is simply mentioning another person in a post. But, before delving into what tagging on Facebook is and how it's done, let's see what it's for:

To indicate who appears in a photo you've posted.
To say who you're with if you update your status.
When you share information (news, video, photo) that reminds you of someone.
You can also tag someone in another post for them to see.

You have to take into account that the labels on Facebook are public, that is, everyone who sees your publication will be able to see and click on the person's profileto those you have mentioned. The tagged user will also be able to share -if they wish- that same post on her Facebook biography.

How to tag on Facebook in a post

If you want to publish a photo and mention all the people who appear in it, we will tell you how to tag Facebook in a publication.It will be useful, for example, for travel photos, or if you want to congratulate someone on their birthday.

Go to your Facebook profile and click on the little box that asks you "What are you thinking?"

Click with the cursor to start writing or posting an image or video.
Click on the photo icon to upload one directly from your computer or mobile and write, if you want, a text that explains the photo.
To mention another person or page in that post you can do it in two ways. The first, putting @ and writing the name of the Facebook account you want to mention.

The second, pressing the option of the little blue doll with a hanging tag: a search engine for your friends will appear so you can select the profiles that you want to appear in the publication before clicking "publish".
