How to Tag Friends on Facebook?

Before you can tag your friends, you may need to learn how to use it first. If you are one of those people who are not sure how to tag others on Facebook, this article will guide you through the steps of how the system works.

First of all, you need to know how to attach images or pictures into your profile. If you already know how to attach pictures, then this would be easy because it uses the same method.

You need to know the picture types and sizes that Facebook tagging system allows you to use. You can refer to Facebook help page on this as the picture requirement can be changed again. Facebook always changes the tagging system to make it even better and easier to use.

After uploading pictures into your profile, now you go to your photo albums and look for a picture you want to use to tag your friends with. Next, click on the picture, and you will see the enlarged image. Under the image you will see “tag this picture”. Click on it to make the picture taggable.  Now you need to find a spot or place on the picture you want to use for tagging. By left clicking on the picture, you will see the rectangle shape covering the space you are clicking on. That means you determine the spot of picture you want to tag. As soon as you left click on the picture, you will see a list of all possible friends’ names underneath. Pick the person you want to tag with by clicking on his or her name. And that is it. You’ve finished tagging your first tag.

Also, you don’t have to tell the person you tag that he or she’s tagged because Facebook will do that for you. Facebook will notify the person instantly that he or she is tagged by you through email.

Now you know you can tag a person using a picture. And it’s pretty simple and straight forward. However, you can also tag different people by using the same picture. In this case, you can also use the same method as described above. The picture you use to tag friends should be big enough and the tagging spot should be well defined. A picture with too many small photos of people next to each other would be difficult to tag. As a result, it can confuse your friends as they don’t know exactly who’s actually tagged on the picture.

Now you know the steps of how to tag your friends on Facebook using Facebook Tags. But it’s always a good idea to refer to Facebook help page for up-to-date instruction which it might be changed at anytime.
