Do you want to learn how to tag a person in a post or comment?

When you are sharing some great content you found or making a comment that one of you don’t want your friends to miss, you want to tag them. By ‘tagging’ your Facebook friends in any post, they will get a notification. This is the best way to make sure that your friend or friends see your post without having to make the message private in messenger.
