getagged

Getagged is a term used in online communities to describe the act of being identified or linked to a piece of digital content, typically through tagging in social media or image management. It is most commonly encountered as the phrase “to get tagged” and is sometimes written as a single word, getagged, in informal writing or branding. It is not a formal term with a single fixed definition, but rather a generic usage that varies by platform and context.

In social media contexts, tagging a person in a photo, post, or comment creates a link to the tagged individual's profile and often results in a notification. Tagging also supports content discovery and organization by associating content with people, topics, or objects. Beyond people, tagging can apply to metadata, places, or topics through features such as object recognition, location tags, or hashtags, aiding search and categorization.

Privacy and control are common considerations. Platforms typically offer settings that govern tagging permissions, such as who can tag whom, whether tags require approval, and who can view tagged content. Users may have options to remove tags, hide tagged content, or disable tag notifications, depending on the service.
