How Do I Tag Someone on a Threads?

Tagging is not difficult. To mention someone, simply use the @ symbol followed by their username. The tricky part is knowing where and how to use it.

As a result, we’ll show you how to tag someone on Threads using your smartphone in three different sections. You can get the gist of it by looking at each of them.

Tag Someone on a New Thread

Follow the steps below on your mobile phone to mention someone in a New Thread or post.

Launch the Threads app on your Android or iOS (iPhone or iPad) device, and then tap the “New post” icon in the bottom menu’s center.
Start a new Thread, write your caption, upload a photo or video by clicking the attach icon, and finish your post.
When you’re ready to publish, select “Add to thread” and enter @username to tag someone.

Keep in mind that there should be no space between the symbol and the username. For instance, @Kenny_jessy, @Emmxziie, and so on.

You don’t need to type the entire username because Threads will display a list of users beginning with that letter.

So, select the username you want to tag or mention in your post (photo, status, video, etc.). It will be highlighted in blue in your content section right away.

Finally, in the lower right corner, press the “Post” button to publish your post.

That person will now be aware of your post, and another user can tap on the mention to visit your friend’s profile.

Tag Someone on an Already Published Post

After you’ve published your post, you might want to tag someone. In such cases, mentioning may be difficult.

In such cases, open the post from your Profile page or feeds first. Now, at the bottom of that post, tap the “Add to thread” option to edit your content.

To mention someone, simply type their username followed by the @ symbol. Then, in the lower right corner, press the “Post” button, and that person will be successfully tagged.

Tag or Mention Someone on Threads Comment

Mentioning someone in a comment is commonly referred to as “Meniton.” So, if you want to mention someone in an interesting post, follow the same steps.

Locate the post in your news feed and tap the “comment” icon next to the “heart” icon.

Now, on your keyboard, type the @ symbol followed by the username of the person you want to tag. After that, choose that person from the list and click the “Post” button to the right.

If you want, you can also write something describing the post. To mention multiple people, user space, or commas, repeat the preceding process. You may mention an unlimited number of users.
