Whether you’re on the Facebook mobile app or desktop site, you can use the tagging feature to alert every group member or page follower about your recent post.
Today we’ll explore Facebook’s tagging features for groups and pages, plus how to tag users in your personal Facebook posts.
Key Points:
What Happens When You Tag Everyone On Facebook?
When you tag everyone in a Facebook group, or use the @followers tag on a Facebook Business page, every member of that group or page will be notified of the post you used the tag in.
There are limitations, however, depending on the size of the group or page.
For small groups, anyone (including regular members) can use the @everyone tag as long as group permissions allow it.
For groups with fewer than 200,000 members, but not considered “small”, only admin and moderators can use the @everyone tag.
For groups with more than 200,000 members, the tag is not available.
Facebook doesn’t list any limitations when it comes to tagging followers in a Facebook page, but they do have a 50 tag limit for the number of individual tags you can include in a post.
How To Tag Everyone In A Facebook Page
While Facebook pages don’t have an @everyone tag, they do include an @followers tag which will tag everyone who followers your page as long as they have notifications enabled for your page.
On Desktop
To tag all of your followers, visit your Facebook page and create a new post.
Type in @followers and select it from the pop-up menu.
Complete your post and publish it.
On Mobile
Currently there is no way to use the @followers tag from the Facebook mobile app. You’ll have to open your page from the desktop site to tag all of your followers.
How To Tag Everyone In A Facebook Group
For Facebook groups, you can use the @everyone tag to alert every group member.
Limitations
As outlined previously, anyone (including regular members) can use the @everyone tag in a small group as long as group permissions allow it.
For medium sized groups with fewer than 200,000 members, only admin and moderators can use the @everyone tag.
For groups with more than 200,000 members, the tag is not available to anyone.
On Desktop
Visit the Facebook group and create a new post.
Type in @everyone and select it from the pop-up menu.
Complete your post and publish it.
On Mobile
Tap the @ symbol on the bottom right corner.
The pop-up menu should include @everyone at the top, otherwise type it in and select it.
Complete your post and publish it.

How To Mention Everyone In The Comment Section
You can also use the @everyone or @followers tags in the comments section of a group or page.
On Desktop
You can mention everyone in the comment sections of both pages and groups on the desktop site.
To do this, click the comments section and type in @everyone (for groups) or @followers (for pages).
Hit enter and post your comment.
On Mobile
You can only mention everyone on groups via the Facebook mobile app. You won’t be able to tag followers on a Facebook page from a mobile device.
To do this, tap the comments section and type in @everyone.
Hit enter and post your comment.
Does @everyone Work On Facebook Messenger?
Yes! If you’re in a group chat on Facebook Messenger, you can tag individual members or tag everyone by using the @everyone tag.
This works on both the Messenger mobile app and desktop site.
To do this, just type in the @ symbol. You should see the @everyone option appear in the pop-up menu.
Troubleshooting Tips For Tagging
