Instagram users can mention up to ten people per photo or video. This notification will show up in a preview of your story. You can also choose to mention multiple people at once. It will show up in message requests as well. Adding a mention to your story is a great way to thank your friends for the support and friendship that you have received over the years.<\/p>\n<p>The newest feature of Instagram stories allows you to mention other users. In addition to text, you can use stickers to make mentions. These stickers show the other person&#8217;s name in yellow or orange text against a white background. If you want to customize your mention stickers, you can choose to use transparent background or rainbow text. This way, others will know when their name appears on your story. After mentioning someone, their profile will be displayed in the corresponding story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_username_to_your_instagram_story\"><\/span>Adding a username to your instagram story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Instagram recently added the ability to add a link to your Story. Before, you could only do this if you had a verified account or more than ten thousand followers. Adding a URL to your caption is not the solution for this problem. You need to write an @mention to the other person before posting your Story. Fortunately, this feature has now been released for all users.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to adding a link, you can also add a sticker that links to your public profile. Instagram has added stickers to make it easy to tag other users and brands. The &#8220;Add Yours&#8221; sticker has been released in several languages. The &#8220;Shopping Sticker&#8221; can be used to promote a business or a product. Adding a link to your Story will help people find you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_a_mention_in_your_instagram_story\"><\/span>Editing a mention in your instagram story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If someone has mentioned you in their story, you may want to delete that mention. If you have tagged a person, their name will appear in your story. However, if you do not want them to see your story, you can delete it and re-upload it. Here&#8217;s how. First, you need to go to the public profile of the person. You can then click on their username to see their profile.<\/p>\n<p>To edit a mention in your Instagram story, tap on the person&#8217;s name or username. After naming the person, they will receive a DM. The DM will include a link to your story. If you don&#8217;t want people to see your story, you can toggle them off. You can also select multiple people in your story at once. By selecting more than one person, you can customize your story to include more people.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Approving_a_mention_in_your_instagram_story\"><\/span>Approving a mention in your instagram story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step to approving a mention in your Instagram story is to follow the person who mentioned you. This is called &#8220;mentioning&#8221; and allows them to see your stories, as well as those of your followers. Once you&#8217;ve followed the person, you can click on their username to view their profile. Alternatively, you can report the story, which will remove the user&#8217;s name from your Story.<\/p>\n<p>In your Instagram story, you can choose to allow or disallow any mentions. To prevent people from tagging you in a story, go to your privacy settings and select whom you want to allow mentions. You can choose not to let other people tag you, too.
