Why is this necessary?
When we post graphic materials on a page or in a group, our friends and subscribers see them in the news feed. But not everyone views new posts, and it’s easy to miss relevant posts in the flow of information. Therefore, if you want your friend to definitely see the photo on your page or post, make a mark.
After this, an icon will appear next to the corresponding section in the user’s profile.
Now your friend will definitely not miss the publication of material on VKontakte, he will be able to open and confirm his presence in the photo.
If the user confirms presence in the image, it appears in the “Photos of me” section.
How to include a friend in a photo
First you need to add a photo to a page, wall or album in VK. Then open it by left-clicking on it. Now you need to click on the corresponding inscription at the bottom of the screen.
The mouse cursor should turn into a cross. Now we choose the place where this comrade is located. Hold down the left mouse button and drag out the rectangle - the selection area.
Let go of the mouse and a list of friends appears. Select the desired name. We continue our work and indicate all those present and those with whom we simply want to share the news or, for example, a greeting card. In one photo on VK you can highlight up to 50 of your friends and only once. After all the necessary persons are indicated, click on the inscription “Done”.
You can also mark your loved one or any object in the photo so that guests viewing the photo understand what is depicted in the “picture”. We see all selected comrades and objects on the right side of the screen next to the graphics.
To save the changes, click “Done” again above the drawing and the cross to close the window.

How to tag a person if he is not a friend
The most appropriate answer is no. More precisely, you can highlight an area in the photo and write initials, but if this friend is not on your friends list, a link to him will not be added. He will not receive a notification that he is in the photo.
Let's see what it looks like in practice. I open the drawing on the VKontakte page, click “Tag a person” and write the first and last name of one of my subscribers. I receive a message that such a person has not been found, but I continue to insist on indicating this data in the image.
I press “Done”. Now look at the right side of the screen next to the image. If the user is a friend, the initials are highlighted in blue - this is a link to the profile. If I made a tag indicating a person with whom I am not friends on a social network, then the first and last name will be written in black letters. There is a highlight, but no link.
Objects are also signed. The name or title may contain any set of characters; the administration does not check them.
Is it possible to tag a person in a photo on Instagram after posting it?
Some people think about whether it is possible to edit a photo after creating a post. And there is no answer to this question, unlike “How to tag a person on Instagram in a photo after publication?” In this case, everything is very simple. You should start editing the post. True, the interface will be slightly different - a window will open in which you can change the signature. And in the lower left corner of the picture there will be an icon with a person and a signature. You will need to click on it.
Removing the mark
You can place and remove tags on your VKontakte images at any time. This may be necessary, for example, to hide a friend from prying eyes and even to remove traces of acquaintance in photographs. To do this, open the picture and look at the list of tagged users on the right. To remove the mark, you just need to click on the cross next to the last name.
You can also remove yourself from your friends' photos. To do this, you need to go to the “Photos of me” section, open the image and click on the cross next to your last name.
You can only remove the link to your profile from other people’s pictures, but you can remove any person from your own pictures. In addition, if you were pointed out in a photo, you can immediately remove the tag.
Why tag people
Instagram is a social network from the world of photography. Of course, it has acquired many additional functions, ranging from the ability to add short videos to live broadcasting, but its basic idea remains unchanged.
Where do people like to take photos the most? Right! In the company of your favorite friends, the direct link function directly to the photo will allow you to easily go to his profile and familiarize your subscribers with the accounts of the people in the photo.
It is worth noting the additional engagement of the users tagged in the photo. After marking, users receive a corresponding notification, which will force them to go and read the publication.
How to identify a person in a phone photo
You cannot add someone to a photo in the VK mobile application; there is no such function. But you can share the photo. Open it by clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner and select “Send to a friend” from the list.
After this, the recipient will receive the photo in private messages.
If you log into a social network through a mobile browser rather than an app, you can easily add marks. Go to the section with photos and click on the inscription “Full version”.
Now all actions will look the same as on PC.
How to tag friends in a picture on social networks
On social networks, users learn information about each other, communicate, and exchange photos. Such online services allow people to interact, regardless of their location and residence. The convenience of social web portals is that you always have the opportunity to congratulate them on a holiday at the right time, send graphic images and pictures that suit the occasion, and tag a friend on postcards and photographs.
Moreover, regulation of the publicity of marks and gifts is another advantage of the service provided by social networks. If you want gifts and congratulations to be visible to everyone, then customize your profile by selecting the appropriate function.
How to tag friends in a picture or photo
Photos that include your friends may appear on the pages of those who are registered on the web portal with you. To do this, you need to upload a photo and use the “Tag a Friend” function. Hover your mouse over the person you'd like to tag and select a contact from the list offered by the social networking service. Friends who are in the photo and in your contact list should appear in this list. This way, the person tagged in your photo will receive that picture. The image is stored on a social network page in the “Photos with you” or “In photos of friends” section.
For example, if you were tagged in a photo on Odnoklassniki, then these images can be viewed by clicking on the “In Friends’ Photos” tab. The web resources “VKontakte” and “Facebook” store this data on your page in the “Photos with you” section.
How to tag friends in a picture with a congratulation or an interesting message
Thematic postcards with friends’ marks on them are distinguished by their originality. This is also very convenient, since you can reach a large number of people and congratulate them on such generally accepted holidays as New Year, Christmas, March 8, Valentine's Day, and so on. Let's figure out how to tag friends. In the picture that you selected as a greeting and uploaded to your page on the social network, select the “Mark” option in the menu item. Then start pointing with the cursor at places to insert the names of friends from your contacts list. To make the congratulation more creative, it is better to choose a picture with an interesting image - these can be cartoon characters, positive emoticons, funny faces, cute animals.
The Internet is full of various pictures from which you can choose postcards for every taste and for every situation. If you want to show your abilities and originality, then find an image corresponding to the theme of the congratulation with objects that characterize the mood or character of the recipients. How to tag friends in a picture if they are not there? But, unlike photographs, there is something that corresponds to them (your imagination is up to you). Hover your mouse over the object in the picture and select a friend who is close to this image. Your friends will remember this congratulation for a long time and will remember this date with a smile.
Why can't I add a tag?
If you access a social network through a web browser on a PC or mobile phone, but the “Tag a person” message does not appear, there may be several reasons for this:
- This is someone else's graphic file and you cannot edit it. Download the photo and upload it to your page or album.
- There are already 50 user marks. I haven’t found any official confirmation in the VK rules, but more than 50 people in one picture don’t stand out. If you want to share the material with other friends, you can duplicate it.
- Social network malfunction. Please try again after some time.
In other cases, the recommendations described above should work.
