To tag on facebook what does it mean?

[Fsfs]

As said, tagging means labeling the people in the pictures with their name. That way, when you scroll your mouse across the picture, you can see who is who.

Also, when you tag people (or people tag you), it shows up in that persons pictures, as "Added by Others." That way not only the pictures you've uploaded yourself appear under your pictures, but any other picture you're in as well. It also immediately alerts the person by e-mail (unless you've opted out of that feature) that a picture of them has appeared on facebook.

However, the one who posted a picture has the power to tag it. If you want to tag yourself, you recognize others in the picture that aren't tagged, or perhaps the person who uploaded the picture doesn't have the person in the picture as a friend, you have the power to tag other people's picture. The owner of the picture has the ability to take down the tags, but that rarely happens unless you added something incorrect or plain mean.

If someone tags a horrible picture of you, you can "untag" the picture. The picture stays up, but it's no longer connected to your facebook. If you want the picture taken down, ask the person or report it.
