Instagram User Tagging
When you are creating the post, select the account as Instagram and add an image.
Under the message box, you will find a new section to tag users. Click on the ‘Tag Profile’ option to tag users.
If the image is not added to the post ‘Tag Profile’ button will be disabled.
Click on ‘Tag Profile’ to open a dialogue box to tag Instagram users
Click anywhere on the image tag an Instagram user
Add a valid Instagram user. You can only tag one user at a time.
Note: The username should be maximum 30 characters and can contain only letters, numbers, periods, and underscores. If any of the usernames are wrong the post will not be published.
After the user tag is added it will be visible on the image and in the ‘Tagged Profile’ section under the image
You can tag up to 20 users to an image
After tagging the users on the image, when you preview the post the tagged profiles will be visible.
You can tag a profile and also add a location for the same Instagram post
When the scheduled or published post is viewed in the side panel the user tags will be visible on the image
After the post is published the user tags will be visible as on any other Instagram posts
