Typically you would tag each person in the photo and input their Facebook account name. Once you have saved the tag the picture will appear on your friend's Facebook page for all of their friends to see. This is a great way to easily attach interesting photos to other people's accounts. It is really useful if you have attended a graduation, a party, or some other event and took a lot of pictures.

If the person that you want to tag is not actually in the photo you can click on any area of the photo that you want to tag as that person. When you click on the photo to add a tag, a pop-up will appear. Either type in the name of your friend in this pop-up or scroll down your friend list and locate their name. Once you have located them, click the Tag button. This will add the tag to the area of the picture that you selected. You can add more tags in the same way. Once you are done simply click the Done Tagging button on the header above your photo and the tags will be applied.
