Instagram Tagging

Instagram tagging in ContentStudio allows you to mention other profiles directly in your posts, reels, carousels, and stories. This helps increase reach, improve engagement, and ensure proper credit by linking to the right accounts.

How to Tag on Instagram

Go to Composer → select the Instagram account.

Create your post and then click the @ icon.

A popup will appear with the preview of the image and tagging options.

Note:

Only public or business accounts can be tagged.
Accounts that have turned off tagging cannot be tagged.

Click anywhere on the image and type in the profile name you want to tag.

Click on the verify link that opens the Instagram profile in a new page and make sure it is the correct account.

After verifying the account, click Apply to save the tag.

Instagram Tagging Cases

Case 1 — Single Image

For a single image post, you can click anywhere on the image preview and tag one or multiple profiles.

Case 2 — Single Video

For a single feed video or reel, no preview tagging is available. A popup will open directly where you can type the profile name and apply the tag.

Case 3 — Carousel

In a carousel post:

Images – You can click on each image preview and tag them individually.
Videos – Tagging is not supported for videos inside a carousel.

Case 4 — Stories

For Instagram Stories (single or multiple):

Image stories – Click on the preview and place the tag.

Video stories – Popup opens directly where you can type the profile name and apply the tag.

And you’re all set! Tag away, boost your reach, and make your Instagram content more engaging.
