  2. Tap on someone in the photo.
  3. Start entering their name or username and select them from the dropdown menu.
  4. Tap Done (iPhone) or Done (Android) in the top right.
To add people to a photo or video you've already shared:
  1. Tap profile or your profile picture in the bottom right to go to your profile.
  2. Go to the photo or video, then tap (iPhone) or(Android) in the top right.
  3. Tap Edit.
  4. Tap Tag People, then tap on someone in the photo.
  5. Start entering their name or username and select them from the dropdown menu.
  6. Tap Done (iPhone) or Done (Android) in the top right, then tap Done or Done again to confirm.
Note: If you're not able to tag someone, they may have changed who can tag them in their privacy settings.
