How to tag someone in an Instagram story

Instagram’s story feature is one of the most used features of the app as users love to share snippets of the day, and tagging someone in their post is a fun way to show who you’re with.

Instagram is one of the biggest social media platforms out there, with millions of users regularly uploading and reacting to posts, either on their feeds or on their Stories.

Stories are posts that disappear 24 hours after initially being published and can be a great way to share snaps or updates that you don’t want to share as a proper post on your account.

Tagging other accounts when posting on your story is a great way to identify who exactly is in the picture or to get someone’s attention, but it can be confusing to figure out how to tag someone.
