You can tag friends or pages in photos that you're able to view. If you tag a photo that was not uploaded by a friend, the person who uploaded the photo will need to approve the tag.

To tag a photo:

1. Go to the photo and click Tag This Photo under it.
2. Click on the person in the photo to tag them. Enter their name and press enter.
3. Click the Done Tagging link below the photo when you're finished.

To tag multiple photos in an album at once:

1. Go to the album.
2. Click the Tag Photos button at the top of the page.
3. Enter the name of a friend or page to tag.
4. Click each photo you want to tag with that name.
5. Click Save Tags when you're finished.
6. Repeat this process for each friend or page you’d like to tag.

Note: When you tag someone in a photo, that person's friends may also see, like, or comment on the photo.

There is no way to prevent your friends’ from tagging you on their profiles (timelines), however you can easily remove tagged items from your profile (timeline).

To remove experiences or activities that you’ve been tagged in from your profile, click the Edit Profile button at the top of your profile and delete items as you normally would.

To remove your name from an experience or activity within friend’s profile, click the Remove link next to the item tagged with your name.

You can tag friends in your Facebook status and other posts. To tag a friend, type the "@" symbol. Then pick the friend you want to tag from the dropdown menu that appears. If the dropdown menu appears and you don’t want to tag a name, just continue typing your post and the options will disappear. Note that you can also mention friends in comments in a similar way.

Anyone can tag you, but if someone you’re not friends with tags you, you’ll always receive a request to approve the tag before it appears on your profile (timeline).
