How To Tag Someone On Instagram Story
Key Takeaways
To tag someone on an Instagram story:
- Open your Instagram app.
- Go to your stories and select a photo or video you want to upload.
- Tap on the “sticker icon.”
- Tap on the option “@Mention.”
- Start typing the username of the person and then tap “done.”
- If you want to edit your mention with a different font and color, tap on the “aa icon,” also known as the “text icon.”
Tagging someone on your Instagram story is the easiest thing to do. By tagging someone on your Insta stories, you make them visible to your followers so they can click through their profile and learn more about them.
The person you’ve tagged can also re-post your story and add them to theirs, which is also a big plus for you.
When people add your story to theirs, they open the door to their followers to click through your profile and see what you’re all about.
This is an excellent way to broaden your audience and get more followers and connections. You can tag a person for many reasons.
Maybe you posted a photo of you and them in your story, and you want people to know their name, or perhaps you just bought some new shoes from a brand and want to include details in your stories.
Nevertheless, tagging people on an Instagram story benefits both sides; the tagger and the person you’ve tagged.
