Begin typing their name in your post. As long as their privacy isn’t preventing them from being mentioned or tagged, their name should appear as you’re typing.

For example, if your friend’s name is Amanda Smith and you type Amanda, you’ll see all your friends named Amanda. You can shorten the results list by continuing to type her last name.

This works if your friend has a nickname in their profile as well! For example, your friend has her Facebook profile set up as “Stephanie Stevie Smith.” You can type Stevie and “Stephanie Stevie Smith” will appear as you type. Tap that name and it’ll become a mention for “Stevie”!

Tap the other person’s name. You don’t have to be formal in your post, so you can click “Amanda Smith” to mention her with the name “Amanda” instead of typing out her full name in the post.

• Tap Post when you’re ready to publish the post. The mentioned person will receive a notification that they’ve been mentioned. That person as well as their friends (even if they aren’t your friends) will be able to read that post.
