Start by editing the photo and tapping the &#8220;Next&#8221; button. You&#8217;ll need to enter a name and select a user before you can begin tagging people. You can also choose a location-based hashtag if you&#8217;d like to include people&#8217;s locations in your story. Once you&#8217;ve added people to your story, you can share them with other users, as long as you&#8217;ve given them permission to do so.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_mention\"><\/span>Adding a mention<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you&#8217;re using Instagram story, you can mention anyone who&#8217;s followed you. You can mention as many people as you want in your story, as long as they have a profile on the app. When you mention someone in an Instagram story, they&#8217;ll receive a notification individually, so it&#8217;s a good idea to be as creative as possible. You can also use stickers and text to mention multiple people.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to tag a specific person, you can use the dedicated mention sticker. To use this sticker, simply take an Instagram Story and type the person&#8217;s username. Once you&#8217;ve added the person, they&#8217;ll see their name in yellow or orange text on a white background. You can even customize the text on the sticker by making it transparent or using rainbow colors. Adding a mention in Instagram story can be a quick way to connect with others in the community and promote your business.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_hashtag\"><\/span>Adding a hashtag<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can add a hashtag to your Instagram story to give your audience an extra reason to share it. You can also create a Collection of hashtags and use them in your future posts. To use your hashtags in your stories, make sure that you put them in the corner of your image. You can also display old stories if you want. But be sure to choose the right one for your audience. Use your hashtag wisely!<\/p>\n<p>You can add a hashtag in your Instagram story by using the &#8216;hashtag&#8217; sticker, or simply using the # symbol. If you use the wrong hashtag, Instagram may ban your account, but this does not prevent you from using it. However, if you use an inappropriate hashtag, your post will only appear on the feed if it is filtered. Moreover, your Instagram story will only show top posts and stories that contain the hashtag.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_location-based_hashtag\"><\/span>Adding a location-based hashtag<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using a hashtag to share your stories is one of the most effective ways to gain exposure in the Instagram community. While a brand-branded hashtag can be used across all of your content, Stories are an ideal place to showcase your niche. Branded hashtags can be used to encourage community engagement, while location-based hashtags can increase your Stories&#8217; visibility in a specific location. In addition, hashtags with a location will narrow the competition to local users, which means your Story will be more likely to rank higher in the search results.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to make the hashtag more visible to your audience is to place it in the corner of your Story. Adding hashtags to your Story will increase its visibility, but you need to make them small and easy to read. It&#8217;s recommended to squeeze the hashtag text and place it in the corner of your image. Remember to include a link to your location-based website, if possible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_a_mention\"><\/span>Removing a mention<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In case you&#8217;ve accidentally tagged someone in your Instagram story, you can remove the mention with a few easy steps. First, you need to go to the Instagram profile of the person who mentioned you. To do this, you can tap on the profile name, then click on the settings button and select the &#8220;Edit Story.&#8221; Here, you can edit text, add stickers or GIFs, and delete your mention.<\/p>\n<p>You can also remove a mention in your Instagram story by changing your privacy settings. This will only apply to people who mention you. Those who mention you will still receive a notification, but you won&#8217;t see the mention if you&#8217;ve disabled it. Instead, you can send a message to the person who mentioned you. The message will then disappear after 24 hours. After this time, they won&#8217;t be able to see your story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_multiple_mentions\"><\/span>Adding multiple mentions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to include multiple mentions in your Instagram story: using stickers and text. You can mention as many people as you like in your Instagram story, but you must keep in mind that each of them will receive an individual notification. To do this, first, follow all of the Instagram users that you want to mention in your story. In the list, select the people you want to mention. After that, you can write their names and email addresses in the comment section.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to add multiple mentions is to use the hashtag feature. In the hashtag field, type the username of the person you wish to mention. After that, the person will receive an e-mail with your message. You can also use the Mention sticker to tag a friend or brand. After adding a mention, you can then add a photo or video. In this way, you can extend the chain.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_multiple_hashtags\"><\/span>Adding multiple hashtags<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding multiple hashtags to your Instagram story is relatively simple, but it is important to keep in mind that you&#8217;re limited to ten. Adding more than that will have negative impact because it looks spammy to Instagram story viewers. In order to add multiple hashtags to your story, follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n<p>Create a list of hashtags that will work for your specific purpose, then save them in your Notes app. This way, you don&#8217;t have to search for them and don&#8217;t have to worry about copying and pasting them. After creating the list, add multiple hashtags as desired, and you&#8217;re all set! Make sure to add a few niche hashtags as well as branded ones, as these will help you boost your posts on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"376\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"210\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W_tKa07MLvw\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Tag in an Instagram Story Getting started with your Instagram Story?
