How Does Tag Function Work?
Tagging is a special type of link. When you tag someone, you create a link in the timeline on the user profile page. The post you tagged can also be added to the person’s timeline.

I Cannot Tag Friends. What Is the Solution?
If you can’t tag someone you want to tag on Facebook, it’s due to that person’s privacy settings. Because some users do not like this kind of activity and do not want to be in pictures or videos. That’s why the privacy settings may have chosen, “No one can tag me.” If he/she has a choice, you can’t tag! There is no solution to this because privacy is very important to every user. If he-she doesn’t want it, there’s no point in insisting. Leave them alone and enjoy Facebook!
When you tag someone on Facebook in a photo, the Friends of that person can see it, like it, or comment on it. If you tag a photo that wasn’t uploaded by a friend, the person who uploaded the photo needs to approve the tag.
