You can tag a person on VK, be it your friend or another user, in posts, messages, comments, recordings and other materials on the social network.
This function is very convenient and in demand. Therefore, the developers have implemented it as conveniently as possible and, most importantly, understandable for users.
The previous material was devoted to how to watch VK guests. Now we will analyze in detail all the ways to tag people on VKontakte on a computer or phone as simply and quickly as possible.

How to tag a person in a post on VK
Let's look at how to tag a person on VK in the text of a post and comment, both a stranger and someone who is your friend. This is done the same way on both the computer and the phone.
Your friend
1. When creating a new post or editing an already published one, write the dog symbol in the text - @
2. Immediately after the symbol, start typing the name or friend who is in your friends list. Click on the one you need in the list that appears. You can change the name that appears in brackets in the text at your discretion; it does not affect the final link.
3. As soon as you click on the “Send” button, the text with the dog will turn into a link, by clicking on which you can go to the account/profile of the tagged person.
Interesting! I recommend reading the material - how to register in VK without a number. It discusses in detail what to do if you don’t currently have a free mobile phone, but you need to create a new page right now.
Someone who is not a friend
1. Start creating a new post or editing an already published one. In the text, put the dog symbol - @ . After it, you need to insert the page ID of the person you want to mention.
2. To find out the VK ID:
a) in the browser - go to the user’s page and copy the address from the address bar.
b) in the application - open the user’s page, click on the nickname at the top and copy this value.
3. Next, insert this value after the dog and remove the first part from it, the VK domain address - vk.com/, leaving only the ID - nickname (see picture).
After publishing the entry, the person will be mentioned and should receive a notification about this (this does not always come).
Interesting! In this way you can tag not only people, but also VKontakte communities. The ID in this case is set from the community.
What are VK conversations
A VKontakte conversation is a dialogue in which you can communicate with several VK users at the same time. We are used to calling conversations chats. Communication here takes place in real time, and the number of chats you can join is unlimited.
What is the difference between dialogue and conversation?
The main difference: a dialogue can have only two users (you and your interlocutor), but up to 500 participants can be added to a conversation. All messages that chat users send into the chat are visible to everyone in the conversation.
You can add a cover image (ava) to the conversation, and if it is not there, the chat will automatically display 2-4 avatars of the participants, and in the dialogue you see the avatar of the interlocutor.
You can also give the conversation a name; the number of chat participants will be displayed under it.
You cannot add to a conversation those who are not on your friends list, even if you are actively communicating with them in the dialogue.
How to tag a person in a message on VK
In a conversation on VK, you can tag a person in the same way as in a post, only here a list of users to select will not appear when you do this.
1. Write the symbol - @ , followed by the user ID, then send the message. The text with the dog will automatically turn into a link.
The user ID is a link to his page (the value after the domain address), copy it from the address bar of the browser on your computer/laptop or by clicking on the person’s name for a few seconds in the mobile application and copying it there. More details about this are written in the first chapter.
How to check if a link works
When a link is created, the question sometimes arises: Does it work? To check its activity, save the publication and try to follow the active link, this way you will check that it was created correctly and is active.
If suddenly the link does not turn blue or simply does not open, we recommend that you delete the created hyperlink and create it again, strictly following our detailed instructions. Now it should definitely work and redirect your friends and subscribers to the page you need.
At the same time, after creating a link to a person, he will receive a notification that he was tagged in your publication and will be able to view the post. So be careful if you create an incriminating publication about your ex-lover.
Bonus for our readers: if you need to mention a person in a conversation, you can simply put * and start typing the username without spaces. Then click on the person you need from the list provided, and a link to him will be inserted into the chat.
At the same time, the mentioned person will not know that you mention him in the conversation (here you can shamelessly discuss bad exes).
How to tag a person in a photo on VK
You can tag a person in a photograph or other picture directly on the image itself. So, by opening such a picture, it will be immediately clear who is marked and in what part of the image.
Important! It is currently impossible to mention a person in a photo from a phone in the application or through the mobile version. Therefore, open your page in a mobile browser and switch to the full version to do this.
1. Open the required photo and click on the link to tag the person located at the bottom.
2. Select in a square or rectangle the place where you want to place a mark and select the person from the pop-up list.
The mark will be set immediately. The photo you tagged will appear in the “Photos of Me” album. There, a person will be able to clearly see where in the picture he was marked.
Effective use of user tags
This tool can be used in a very diverse way, making it a good addition to the development of the VKontakte community. With the help of tags, you can notify the winners of sweepstakes about their luck and congratulate birthday people on their birthday, attracting additional attention to your resource.
Tags in posts can help focus on certain individuals, for example, scammers and swindlers. Or, on the contrary, push to help people who need it. The scope of this tool is almost unlimited, and how you use it depends only on you and the ideas you come up with.
How to tag a person in a story on VK
At the moment, this can only be done from a mobile phone, since such functionality simply has not been added for PCs and laptops. And they are unlikely to add it.
1. Start creating a “Story” in the official VKontakte application, write it down or simply make it from any image.
2. Click on the circle icon under the handle in the upper right corner and select “@MENTION” from the list.
3. Start typing the name of the person you want to mention and select from the list that appears, or directly paste the ID of the desired page.
Why are marks needed?
When creating a publication on the VKontakte social network, you can mention another person or community. This function will be very useful not only for public accounts, but also for simple accounts. So, visitors will be able to see who exactly they tagged and go to the page.
Such a link in the text is indicated in blue and will be clickable. But the function has some limitations. You can only mention another profile or community . You cannot insert a link to an external resource.
As soon as an individual account or public page is mentioned in a post, they will receive a notification about it . This way, friends will be able to see that they were mentioned and immediately go to the publication. Except for those moments when the user has disabled these notifications, or is not a member of the closed/private group in which he was tagged.
Also, the ability to tag a person in a post has an advantage during searches. It is enough to enter his ID to find all the posts on the wall in which he was tagged. In the same way, you can quickly find the desired post.

The tool for tagging people in VK can be used for a variety of purposes. If you run your own community or group, tagging can increase user experience and trust. Marks well focus attention on those to whom they are placed.
So, when users see links in a post to a specific person, they can immediately go to the page and verify the identity of the person you mentioned.
