How to add a user tag on the mobile Facebook app

There are three ways to tag a user on Facebook: in a post, in a picture, or when you create a story. In the mobile app, you can use all three of these tools.

Tagging someone on a Facebook story using the mobile app is similar to tagging someone on a regular post, but with a few key differences. Here’s how to do it:

• To create a story, tap on your profile picture at the top of the Facebook app or swipe right from your News Feed. Then, tap “Add to Story.”

• Type the name of the person you want to tag in the search bar. Facebook will suggest names as you type, so you can select the correct person from the list.

• Once you’ve selected the correct person, you can adjust the size and position of the tag by dragging it with your finger.

Finally, post your tagged story by tapping the “Share to story” button at the bottom of the screen. The tagged people will receive a notification and be able to view the story and any associated comments or reactions.

How to add a user tag on the Facebook desktop

If you need to add a tag using the desktop version of Facebook, the instructions are exactly the same. And since you do it with your browser, it does not matter what operating system you have. The thing is that all actions and buttons used in the mobile version are the same for the desktop. However, this does not apply to history. Currently, you cannot add user tags in the desktop version of Facebook. So in order to add a tag, you need to:

To Facebook Post

• Start creating a post using the “What’s on your mind?” or “Write a comment” box
• Select the “Tag People” button or enter the @ symbol and then enter the user name you want to tag.

To Facebook Photos

• Select the photo you want on your page or in any of your albums.
• Open the photo to full screen.
• Select the “Tag” button at the top right of the screen.

• Сlick the face of the person you want to tag.
• From the drop-down list, select the user you want.

With these simple instructions, you’ll be able to add user tags. Remember that tagged users will receive a notification. You should also remember that you won’t be able to add a tag to Facebook Stories on your desktop. This is because the desktop has a very weak story editor.
