So a mention is essentially for when you want to talk about someone, while a tag is essentially for when you want to say you were with someone. You can only tag personal profiles though you can check in to a business if you were there. Whenever you mention or tag someone, not only are you getting their attention, but also potentially putting that post in front of their connections and followers, so it can be a very powerful ally for the savvy marketer.
Normally, mentioning a friend is as simple as beginning to type their name and allowing Facebook to auto-suggest the person you want to mention — as long as you capitalize and begin to spell their name correctly.
Either way, as Facebook populates the list, simply click or tap on the name you want to include and Facebook will autocomplete and link the name accordingly. The notification of the mention will be sent once you complete and publish your post or comment. To mention a Page, you must begin typing the name of the business with an. Once your post or comment is published, the Page and Page admins will receive a notification that the Page has been mentioned. As we mentioned earlier, tagging on Facebook is how you essentially say that you were with someone.
There are two ways to do it. Using the symbol changes nothing and therefore is not needed here. While not technically required, it is preferred by other users that you reserve this option for when someone is actually pictured in an image. Facebook Pages also cannot tag Facebook users or other Pages.
Pages can, however, tag products. This feature is reserved for businesses that have products of their own and have set them up beforehand or on the fly. You can, however, check in to a business which is similar to a tag. While creating or editing a post, simply click on the Check In button and begin typing the name of the business. The initial set of recommended businesses will be based on your location and past check in history.
As you type more characters, more specific matches will appear. Facebook will display up to 15 results at a time, with the results changing each time you change or add a character.
The following are some of the more common Facebook icons. Most people who use Facebook regularly will recognize them fairly easily. One of the most central images in the Facebook brand is the famous "Like" icon. You can like anything on the site that you can comment on. Just click this button to let everyone know. To switch to one of these reaction symbols, hover over the Like button or hold the Like button on the Facebook app and the different reaction options will pop up.
You then just need to select the reaction you want to use. But there are also other symbols on Facebook, including the icons that appear at the top of the page.
The first pulls out a menu where you can find friends, search local events, create posts, stories, pages, or ads, and do a whole host of other things. The second is a shortcut to Facebook Messenger, where you can get in touch with your friends via DM. Aside from the icons above, the other icons you'll see on Facebook are the ones that display while you're creating new posts and updating your status. Below the text field, you'll see a few symbols.
Hitting the ellipsis shows the rest of the options that you have when creating a post on Facebook. You are also able to add emojis to your post with the convenient Emoji button nearby. The Activities options are a bit more interesting. There are other faces where capitalization matters a lot as well. What does this mean?! Someone dmed it to me when I said I was going to bed, but Idk what it means. I think the first one is a clown.
Most of these answers can be figured out on your own by simply imagining it as a face on a cartoon character. What does this mean?? Like this if you support my question.
