One of the best things about posting a photo or sharing a post on Messenger is that it allows you to tag other people you have on your friends list. When you tag a post to another person, that same post will show on your profile as if it was posted by the other user.
Some people still don’t know how to use this Facebook feature. If that’s your case, keep reading this article, because next we’ll be showing you how to tag a person on Facebook and some more things, such as why Messenger doesn’t let you tag other people.
What should be considered when tagging a person in this application?
Before you tag a post to a person on Facebook, you have to think about whether that person would like you to tag the post. If not, it is best that you do not label it at all. However, there is one other thing to keep in mind before tagging that person’s post.
If you want tagged people to be able to add it to their story
Once you tag a photo to another user, that person will have the ability to share that photo to their Facebook story. If for some reason you don’t want that person to share your photo, then don’t tag it. Now, if there are no problems with this kind of thing, you don’t need to worry about anything.
What is the way to tag your friends to a story within Messenger?
There are several ways to tag a person from the Facebook app for mobile phones. However, with Messenger you can only tag people within the stories section, since it is the only thing that can be uploaded from that application.
Inside the Facebook App
To tag a person from Facebook Lite or normal Facebook, you have to press the ‘Add a story’ icon. Once you have clicked here, you will have to Add the photo and then click the option that says tag friends. After you have finished tagging the people you want, all you have to do is press the publish story option.
Facebook stories are actually very helpful. But the bad thing about these is that they cannot be programmed as well as the publications that the platform allows you to upload. Now, if you want to schedule a photo you will have to do it from the ‘Add a status update’ section and not from the ‘Add a story’ option.
From the history section in Messenger
From the Messenger app for phones, the process of posting a story changes a bit, but it’s still very simple. First, find the Messenger app on your phone, open it, and then tap the history section.
In the ‘Add to story’ option you will select what type of story you want to upload, if only a text, a video or an image. Then, edit the image if you wish and finish by hitting the action that says add to story.
When uploading a photo on this platform, it is recommended that you change its privacy so that other people that you do not have on your friends list cannot see the content that you always upload on your profile. This privacy change can be made from the Facebook app and also from the Facebook website.
When you already published the content
Once you have uploaded the story, they cannot be tagged. If you want to tag a person in your story you will have to delete the photo, re-upload the image and tag the people you want. Due to details like this, whenever you are going to upload a photo in which there are other people, you have to take advantage of the moment and tag them at once.
So that later you do not have to repeat the whole process again. This is true for both Facebook and the Messenger app, so it’s not worth wasting time looking for a solution. Also, the best thing about tagging on the photos you upload in stories is that you will know how many people have seen the story. Also, this way you will know which people might maybe start following the other person
