How to Tag Someone on Facebook with an iPhone
Step-by-Step Guide
Tagging someone on Facebook with an iPhone is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. Follow these steps to get started:
Step 1: Open Facebook on Your iPhone
- Open the Facebook app on your iPhone. It’s located in your home screen, usually with a blue icon.
- If you have multiple accounts on your iPhone, you can use the Facebook app to open your main account or any other account you want to tag.
Step 2: Open the Friends List
- Tap on the "Friends" tab at the bottom of the screen. This will take you to your friends list, where you can see the names of the people you’ve approved to see your posts.
- If you want to see your full list of friends, tap on the "See All" button, located at the top right corner of the screen.
Step 3: Find the Person You Want to Tag
- Use the search bar at the top right corner of the screen to find the person you want to tag. Type in the person’s name, and Facebook will show you their profile page.
- If you want to see their full profile, tap on the "People" tab, located at the bottom of the screen.
Step 4: Select the Person You Want to Tag
- Find the person you want to tag in the search results and tap on their profile picture.
- Select the "Friends" tab, located at the bottom of the screen, to see if they’re friends with you or not.
Step 5: Tag the Person
- If the person is friends with you, tap on the "Tag Me" button, located at the bottom of the screen.
- Alternatively, you can tap on the person’s profile picture and select "Tag Me" from the menu.
Important Note: You can only tag someone you’ve approved to see your posts. If you haven’t approved the person to see your posts, they won’t be able to see your posts or tag you back.
Tips and Variations
- You can also use the "See All" button to see your full list of friends, or the "Friends" tab to see specific friends.
- If you’re using the "Swipe Left" feature to filter friends, you can swipe left on the person to remove them from the list.
- If you want to create a public post with all the friends, tap on the "Edit Post" button and then tap on the "Add Person" button, located at the bottom of the screen.
Using the "See All" Button
- The "See All" button is located at the top right corner of the screen.

Common Issues and Solutions
