While there isn't a direct feature to tag everyone in Facebook posts, there are a few ways you can tag multiple friends or users depending on the context.
Tagging Friends On A Facebook Post
If you're just tagging friends in a post or within a photo on Facebook, you'll have to manually add them individually by typing an '@' symbol either in the post or comment, followed by their name.
While there are browser extensions that can help with tagging, they should be used with caution especially if they require you to grant user permissions.
Using The @everyone Tag In A Facebook Group
Facebook group admins can use the @everyone tag to notify all group members of a specific post. This can only be used once per day, and encourages active participation within a Facebook group that might be otherwise stagnant.
To use the tag, type "@everyone" in the post body or comment box. Every group member will receive a notification of the specific post that the tag was used in, along with the group name.
Tips For Effective Tagging
Whether you want to encourage participation or gain more engagement in the news feed, tagging other members on Facebook is a key part of the platform. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you tag individuals in your new post or comment.
Avoid Spamming
Don't overdo it! Avoid tagging friends too frequently - only tag friends who would be genuinely interested in the content.
Create Friend Lists
Use friend lists such as Close Friends to simplify your tagging process.
Adjust Notification Settings
If you want to know when you're tagged in other posts, make sure your notification settings are optimized for receiving updates when you're tagged in a friend's post or when admin mentioned you in a Facebook group or page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit to how many people you can tag on Facebook?
You can tag up to 50 people in a post or photo, but if you're a group admin you can tag everyone in a group using the @everyone tag regardless of how many members there are.
How many times a day can you tag someone on Facebook?
You can only use the @everyone tag once a day if you're a group admin. Regular users can tag up to 50 people in a post or photo at a time, but there's no current limit to how many photos you can tag people in.
Can you tag someone you don't know on Facebook?
Yes - but the user will receive a notification that you've attempted to tag them in your photo, which they can then approve or reject. You can also tag users within a group or page in your post or comments without requiring approval.
