Tagging photos using Facebook for HTC Sense.

[AldousSnow]

I've searched... i've googled... and I can't figure it out. Everyone says that one of the advantages over Facebook for HTC Sense over the Facebook App is the ability to upload and tag a photo. Problem is I've tried this over and over and see no option for tagging... Am I missing something?

your not missing anything...it's not available through that. You say "everyone," but I haven't seen that anywhere... Can you link to where you've seen this?

HTC Desire HD - Facebook for HTC Sense
"You can also upload one or more photos from your storage card to Facebook, then tag and add captions that go with it." - Direct quote from HTC

There are way more links just on the first page of a google search... but even HTC says I can do it... just not sure how.

First, don't confuse "Facebook for HTC Sense" with the Facebook app.

I don't currently have a Sense ROM loaded, so can't check for sure, but I think you can. IIRC (and it's been a long time since I used Sense), when you share a photo from your gallery, you get two options: Facebook or Facebook for HTC Sense.

I think if you choose Facebook for HTC Sense, you get the option of tagging the photo BEFORE you upload. At least I think, and I don't think you can tag with the facebook app after you upload (this probably also means you need to have your phone set up to sync your facebook contacts/friends)

Important: You need to be logged in to your account to be able to upload photos or videos.

3. Tap and then tap Facebook for HTC Sense.
4. Select the photos or videos you want to share and then tap Next.
5. Enter a different caption on each photo or video. You can also tag friends on your photos. Tap Tag this photo, and then tap the part where your friend is. From the list that shows, select who you want to tag.
6. Slide to the left to go to the next photo or video.
7. Tap Upload.

Thanks.. yeah, those are the notes I have. I just never see the option to "Tag this photo".

Wow... was starting to think it didn't exist. I just looked again, and it's not on my screen. I'm using stock... not rooted.

You're not crazy... I don't have it, either. Just "Upload" & "Cancel" buttons. No "Tag Friends" button at all...

Agreed. Stock Evo 2.3 and no tagging for Facebook app or for HTC Sense. I usually use m.facebook.com.
