You can do this with the space bar or using their @username. However, you should avoid using the @username since it is not a valid comment start. Instead, you should use the Send icon, which looks like a paper airplane, located in the bottom right corner of your screen. After you&#8217;ve tagged someone, you should see a notification.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_product_tags\"><\/span>Using product tags<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using product tags on Instagram is an effective way to increase website traffic. More than one billion people use Instagram, and it supports businesses through its shoppable tags. These tags take interested users directly to your website, which in turn increases your sales. In fact, Natori increased its website traffic by more than 1,400% thanks to the product tags, while Magnolia Boutique saw a 20% increase in revenue. These results are not uncommon.<\/p>\n<p>Product tagging is an important part of creating a seamless shopping experience for customers, but it can also have negative consequences. For example, a product tag that links to a 404 error page instead of to the product description may leave a bad impression. To prevent this problem, be sure to check your product tags for errors, and use your personal account to do it. The more attention you pay to your product tags, the more likely you will be to be featured in a customer&#8217;s feed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_usernames\"><\/span>Using usernames<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When using Instagram, you can tag other people in your photos and videos. However, if you want to be sure that you are tagging the person you&#8217;re tagging, you should know their full usernames. This way, you can avoid any confusion. It&#8217;s important to make sure that you are tagging the person you&#8217;re tagging, or you may accidentally post their photo without their permission.<\/p>\n<p>In Instagram, tagging people means including a link to their profile in your post. People who follow you are notified when you post and they&#8217;ll see their usernames next to your photos. Once you&#8217;ve tagged a person, you can move the tag to a new place so that it&#8217;s easier to find them. In the future, you can move tagged images and videos to their new locations to keep them organized and easy to find.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_mention\"><\/span>Using @mention<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you post content to Instagram, you can mention another user or place with the @mention symbol. This will make their content appear in your followers&#8217; notifications. Mentions are best used in the post itself, and you can mention another account in a caption. You should always mention other accounts in your captions, so that the other user sees the content you&#8217;ve posted. This is the most effective way to get the attention of other Instagram users and increase the number of followers.<\/p>\n<p>The dedicated mention sticker is an excellent option for tagging people in your stories. You can place it anywhere on your story, and it shows the other person&#8217;s name in orange or yellow text. You can customize the text color, too, by using a rainbow or a transparent background. This way, your followers will be able to see the name of the person you&#8217;re tagging.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_location_tags\"><\/span>Using location tags<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using location tags to tag people on Instagram has several benefits, especially for businesses. Locations can help your content be easily discovered by people searching within that area. In addition to reaching new customers, location tags also increase engagement by inspiring more comments and sharing. These factors all lead to increased profile performance and engagement. So, how can you use location tags to your advantage? Keep reading for some tips to increase your Instagram engagement.<\/p>\n<p>To find a place where you have visited, search for locations in the area you are posting. A city such as London has millions of Instagram users, so tagging a park or restaurant with the name of the location will increase your exposure. By tagging places in your area, you&#8217;ll also support local businesses. If someone else has posted a photo of a coffee shop, it will appear on the search results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Tag People on Instagram Instagram has a feature where you can tag your friends.
