Please explain to me!

I see it done all the time but I haven't got a clue how it's done.

Someone posts a message and if they want a certain person to see it they link them in and their avatar and their name come up in the post.

Please help before I go all gangster on my tablet and have it swimming with the fishes!

Thanks in advance.

Ok buddy, first you find the @ symbol. Are you still with me? Good.
Now you start typing their name. I know this may be hard for you but please try to follow along. For me someone would put @ and then write fishhead0103666.
The end result will end up like this. fishhead0103666


Sorry man, I couldn’t help myself lol.
