photo tagging
Naming people pictured
Photo tagging is the practice of attaching identifying labels to digital photographs, typically naming the people who appear in them.
On social media platforms, tagging someone in a photo links to their profile and notifies them: She tagged me in an unflattering picture from the party.
The term extends to adding any metadata—locations, dates, or descriptive keywords—that makes photos searchable and organized.
