How To Tag Friends In Instagram Stories

You can now finally tag friends in Instagram Stories. This feature has been a much requested feature since the introduction of Instagram Stories. Instagram recently announced the introduction of this feature, which it calls Mentions.

How To Tag Friends In Instagram Stories – Mentions

The feature will let creators use @ to “tag” any other Instagram user in their story.

After taking a picture or video for a story users can tap to add text, and instead of typing a message they just type @, followed by someone’s Instagram username. And just like in comments and captions, Instagram will autocomplete their username.

Once “tagged”, the username will be underlined and tappable in the story. When tapped, the tag will take users to the profile of whoever is tagged in the picture. And also like comments and captions, users will receive a notification if they are tagged in the story of someone they follow. If they are tagged in a story by someone they don’t follow, it will show up in their “requests” folder.

You will able to tag up to 10 people in one Story. But remember that you’ll have to actually add everyone’s username in a text box, which could mean that lots of usernames will clutter up your picture or video.

Unlike Links, Mentions will be available to all users.
