Instructions for comments, stories, photos and videos in a post.
How to tag someone on Instagram in the comments below a post
On Instagram, this is called a mention. It can come in handy if you want to draw the user's attention to the post or conversation below it. After adding a flag, the name of the selected person appears in the discussion. He will receive a notification and can quickly navigate to the publication.
To mention someone in the comments, enter the @ symbol for "dog" and start writing Username. When the list of accounts appears on the screen, select the person you want. Add any comment text as needed, then click Post.
How to tag someone on Instagram in a photo or video in a post
If you took a photo or video in which your friends are present, you can tag them in your post. In this case, the post will contain links to the accounts of the selected people. If your profile is for them not closed, these users will be notified of the publication and can quickly view it.
As an example, we'll show you how to tag a person in a photo. Videos are tagged in the same way.
At the time of publication
Prepare your post for publication: add a photo, adjust colors if necessary and apply filters. But don't click the Share button yet. Instead, select Tag Users (iOS) or Tag People (Android). Then tap the photo.
Add the names of the users you want using the search form. When the marks appear on the image, you can move them to the appropriate places. Click on the checkmark or "Done". Now use the Share button to publish the post with all the marks.
In an already published post
Click on the three dots next to the desired post and select Edit (iOS) or Edit (Android). Click "Tag users" (icon with a person), tap the photo and add the necessary people using the search form. When the marks appear on the image, you can move them to the appropriate places. Click on the checkmark or "Done" and then again.
How to tag someone in Instagram Stories
Instagram allows you to tag people not only in posts, but also in stories. This can be done using a special sticker or the @ symbol. Choose the method that seems more convenient to you.
With a sticker
Click on your account photo. When the editor opens Stories, add the picture or video you want. Then click on the sticker icon at the top of the screen and select "@mention". Start typing your username and select the right person when their profile appears on the screen.
Move the added sticker to a convenient location. Zoom in, if you want, by pinching and spreading your fingers. Then you can add other people in the same way. When done, post your story.
Using the @ symbol
Click on your profile photo. When the Stories Editor opens, add the desired photo or video. Tap the screen, enter the @ symbol, and immediately after it start writing the name of the user you want. When the list is displayed, select the person you are looking for. If necessary, add other people in the same way.
To customize the appearance of labels, use the color icons and the slider. When done, you can post history.
See and remove tags from posts you've been tagged to
Other users, of course, can also tag you in their posts. Such publications are displayed in a special section of your profile. Here you can view them and, if necessary, delete your name.
To see posts you've been tagged on, open your personal profile and swipe left across your posts.
To remove a tag from a post on iOS, click the three dots next to it, choose Tag Options β Remove Me From Post.
To remove a tag from a post on Android, tap on any post where you have been tagged. Then select "Edit", select the unwanted publication and use the "Delete" button.
