When you post a status update, you can tag your friends by typing an symbol followed by their name. As you type, a small window appears and updates automatically to show the best match for the text you've entered.
Click someone's name or use the arrow keys and Enter and it will appear highlighted in blue on your post. This means you've successfully tagged them. In addition to your own friends, you can also tag other people and pages on Facebook. This includes friends of friends, business pages, and similar. The same method works for tagging others in comments across Facebook, too. Just be aware that if your post privacy is set to Friends , tagging someone makes your post visible to their friends as well.
Facebook allows you to add several elements to your posts, including feelings, location check-ins, and similar. One of these lets you mention that you were with certain friends. To use it, click the Tag Friends option, which looks like a blue silhouette of a person with a tag next to it.
This brings up a search box where you can enter a friend's name. Use the box to select one or more of your friends here. Be aware that unlike the above, you can only tag your own friends using this method, since you're claiming that you were with them.
Click Done when you're satisfied, and you'll see a new [Your name] is with [friend's name] line at the top of your status. Enter your post as usual and people will see this line to explain who you were with. Start to type the name of the friend you want to tag and when their name has appeared in the drop-down menu, click it. Your days of wondering how to tag people on Facebook are long gone. Are you a Facebook fan?
