Facebook is a brilliant way for any individual to connect with their family and friends, offering a number of unique communication options. However, the platform can also be a great way of reaching out to companies, brands, or other types of services you might not be able to contact so easily otherwise.
For that reason, you might want to tag a certain Facebook Page on a post or a comment that might be relevant to the Page and its content. Here is how you could to just that, depending on the device you’re currently using:

Things to keep in mind
Although tagging a Facebook Page is fairly simple, there are a few things you need to keep in mind before attempting to do so:

- If the Page allows mentioning, you will be able to tag them even if you don’t like/follow them.
- The number of Pages you can tag in your personal status update is limited to 50.
And there you have it; everything you need to know about tagging different Pages on Facebook, regardless of the device you’re currently using.
