So, what is Facebook tagging?
Before moving ahead with learning how to tag someone, pages and places on Facebook, we should quickly review what tagging is and how it can work for you.

When you tag someone on Facebook, this will give them a notification. Many times when you tag someone and share a post on their wall or your wall, they get a notification that will allow them of approving this tag. This means that they have the ability to decide whether or not the tagged material can be associated with their timeline.
When you tag someone on Facebook, they will not be the only ones who can view the content. Instead other people in your friend list will have the opportunity to visit yours or your friend’s timeline and view the content. This is exactly how you are able to increase your Facebook social circle. Because if the content that you have tagged someone in is funny and it is received well by their friends as well, they might just want to become friends with you too. Because, to them you clearly have taste! This is why we recommend you tag your friends in animal pictures and videos on Facebook. When their friends will view it, you will be able to build your own circle of animal lovers!
Now that you know what tagging means and what its functions are, you need to learn how to tag someone, pages and places on Facebook.

So, first we will teach you how to tag someone on an image from Facebook!
Now in order to tag someone on an image, you simply need to open the image that has caught your eye in the Facebook’s photo viewer section. At the bottom of the image you will notice an option that says “Tag photo”. You will click on that option and then move forward by clicking on places of the picture where you wish to tag people. This way you can tag a single person or multiple people together at once! When you are done with tagging you can click “Done tagging” from the bottom of the menu or on the right side of the menu.
Now if you have tagged someone whom you are not friends on Facebook (which is pretty rare!), it will take time to get the tagging approved by the other party. Be careful when you tag people and which posts you choose to tag people in. Many times, people on Facebook do not appreciate being tagged in posts and images. You must also be careful about over tagging people. Nobody like waking up in the morning with a double of dozen notifications on their phone.
You can also tag people in the comments section of an image or a video. Along with that, you can also tag people in a photo’s caption section. If for example, you have a family photo and you cannot find someone from your relatives through tagging. What you can do is you can tag them in the captions area instead. All you need to do is open the image in the photo viewer again and click on the option that says “Add a description” on the right side. Click on Edit and begin typing any caption that you want. Along with the caption, if you want to tag someone you will hit the @ button from your keyboard and without any spaces, simply type their name as it is on Facebook. A menu will open which will ask you to select their profile. Once you choose their name, they will be tagged. Now all you have to do is clos the edit section because you are done!
Otherwise, Facebook also gives you he “who were you with” option when you upload a picture to share on Facebook. Simply type their name in the section and they will be tagged! Then you can also use the above mentioned technique to tag someone in the comments!
Now we can move on with teaching you how to tag someone, pages and places on Facebook. Tagging a page on Facebook is fairly easy too. Sometimes, you wish to tag a page instead of a person on Facebook. This technique will also help you with tagging groups as well. All you need is the @ technique. When you write your comments, update a personal post or a comment, you need to insert the @ sign from your keyboard. After this you will not hit the space button at all! Instead right after the @ sign you will type the name of the page you wish to tag. A drop menu will open as you begin typing. When you notice the appropriate page, click on it from the options so it can be tagged. That’s it, you will hit enter and the page will be tagged on Facebook. You can use this technique across platforms; phone and personal computers!
The last part of how to tag someone, pages and places on Facebook includes; places! When you are at an event and you wish to share the location’s name with your Facebook friends, this option comes in handy. You do not need to like the place on Facebook. Because if you wish to tag a page or a group on Facebook posts, you need to like and be part of them first. This way, tagging a places becomes very easy. All you need to do is type your status and using the @ technique. When you begin typing the name of the place along with the @ sign, choose the right option from the drop menu and you will be able to tag them. You also have another easier way to go by this. When you are typing your status on Facebook, underneath the location option you will have a little gray area. Click on it to select the location you are at from the drop menu. Viola! You have tagged a place on Facebook now.
When you tag someone, pages and places on Facebook we hope you will be careful. Do not disturb others by tagging them a hundred times a day. If you wish to tag pages on Facebook, make sure you tag the right one and your intention for tagging them is appropriate. As with location, we suggest you do not over do it because this can reveal where you are at right now and attract any person to meet you there. So if you do not want to be found in public, be careful!
