Tagging a person in a post is a great way to let them know that you appreciate their participation in the conversation. It might be your partner on TikTok that you want to mention in the video that you upload to TikTok, or it could be someone else that you want to mention in your comments area so that other users will check out their profile and follow them. When you mention someone on TikTok, a link to their profile is generated, and the person you mentioned receives a notification about it. Do you want to find out how to tag someone in a more original way on TikTok? Yes? You have arrived at the right place, as this article will walk you through the process of tagging a user on TikTok using either a desktop or a mobile phone. 

TikTok’s Various Tagging Options and Methods

It shouldn’t give you any problem to tag a user in one of your TikTok videos. Mentioning them when you upload your content is the most straightforward approach. You shouldn’t be concerned about the procedure if you’re using a desktop computer, an Android, or an iPhone.

Tagging a User on TikTok Using Your Android Device or iPhone

If you want to mention someone in your TikTok video, you can do so by following the instructions below.

1. Launch the TikTok app and log in to access your account.
2. Simply choose the plus sign (+) located at the bottom of the page.
3. The Camera page will load in this case. Click the red button to create a video using TikTok, or click the upload button to choose a video from your device.
4. You’ll need to click the Next button twice in order to access the Post page.
5. Under the Post tab, you can add a description and hashtags for your video.
6. Click the @Friends or @mention button that’s located next to the hashtags.
7. Conduct a search for the user whose profile you would want to tag.
8. You’ll be able to tell that you’ve tagged the person since their username will begin with the @ symbol. Keep in mind that you can tag many people at once by just entering their username.
9. When you are satisfied with your post, you may then click the Post button, which will upload your video.

By mentioning the individual in your post, you have successfully “tagged” them, and TikTok will send them a notification informing them of the activity.

Alternately, you can mention someone in the comments area of the TikTok video that you’ve published or of other content creators’ videos to tag them in the video. Follow the steps below if you want to mention someone in the comments section.

1. Use the the TikTok app on your mobile device in order to access your account.
2. Simply navigate to the top of your homepage and select either the “Following” or “For You” button.
3. Find the video in which you want to mention your target person and play it.
4. To leave a comment, select the button that looks like a comment underneath the heart icon.
5. To add a comment, either click the “Say something” or “add comment” section.
6. After you have finished typing your comment, tap the @ symbol that is located on the right.
7. After clicking, type the username of the person you wish to tag, and when it appears, click on it to tag them.
8. The final step is to add your comment by clicking the Send button.

Bingo! Your intended recipient will be notified that they have been tagged in a specific video by you, and anyone who sees your comment will be able to view the profile of the person you tagged by clicking on the link that is attached to their name in the comment.

Tagging someone on TikTok using desktop

Even if you don’t use the TikTok mobile app, you can still tag other users by going to the website and using the browser version. Follow the steps below in order to mention someone in your own TikTok video.

1. You can access your TikTok account through the browser by logging in.
2. After you have logged in, go to the top of the page and click the plus sign (+).
3. Upload your video.
4. Make sure you click the Next button twice.
5. On the page where videos are uploaded, in the caption area, click the @Friends button.
6. Find the person whose account you want to tag, then click on their name when it appears in the results.
7. To finish, click the Post button at the bottom of the page.

After completing the steps above, you will have successfully tagged someone in your video, and they will also receive credit for the video.
