There are two ways to tag people in a post you share on Instagram. Keep in mind that you can't tag people in someone else's post.
Tag people before sharing a post
To tag someone before sharing a photo, reel or carousel:
- Before sharing a post, tap Tag people.
- Tap someone in the photo.
- Enter their name or username, then tap their name from the menu.
- Tap Done in the top right.
Tag people after sharing a post
To tag someone in a photo or video you've already shared:
Tap
or your profile picture in the bottom right to go to your profile.
- Go to the post, then tap in the top right.
- Tap Edit.
- Tap Tag people, then tap on someone in the post.
- Enter their name or username, then tap on their name from the menu.
- Tap Done in the top right, then tap Done again to confirm.
Note that if you're tagging someone that is set up as a
creator or
business account, you can also include their profile category by tapping
Tag Category below their name.
If you're not able to tag someone, they may have changed
who can tag them in their privacy settings.
