How to Manage Tagged Photos on Instagram

Instagram is the one social network we all use to nurture our followers and share thoughts, updates, services, and any experience – visually and beautifully. As social networks are getting more advanced with time, let’s mention shopping and analytical tools, Instagram proudly keeps a few unique superpowers. One of them is tagged photos on Instagram – a crucial element for brands.

With so many competitors on the market, Instagram is still considered a top choice for social media users.

As of April 2022, more than half of the global Instagram population worldwide is aged 34 years or younger. 59% of Instagram users log in daily, and the average engagement rate per post is 0.98%.

Everyone uses Instagram tagging to give credits or mention all people/other brands appearing on their photos.

This strategy can effortlessly boost user-generated content. Tagging others on Instagram helps get more reposts, improve views & engagement, and build credibility in the most effortless way possible!

Also, it helps link multiple Instagram profiles. Franchise brands, entrepreneurs, bloggers, and every small business owner who has 2+ Instagram profiles can benefit from this hack.

Publer is now supporting Instagram tags for Business profiles. An essential way to get noticed, improve views & engagement, and build credibility.

One thing that’s better than Instagram tagging? Automating it!

How to tag other profiles on Instagram using Publer:

Open the Editor
Select your Instagram account on the left.
Choose the image/s you want to create a new post with on the Media Library, import them from your desired source (Drive, DropBox, OneDrive, Unsplash, or local storage), or design new images from scratch with Canva/VistaCreate.

When you hover the cursor over an image, you’ll be able to see a small ‘tag’ icon at the bottom right corner of the image.
Click on the icon and manually pick where you want to tag a profile.

After deciding on a spot, you can add the username below.
- NOTE: Due to Instagram’s limitations, Publer can’t autocomplete or spellcheck usernames. You need to double-check the spelling before saving. Or else, the post will be published without the invalid tags.

Tip: Don’t over-tag. Just because you want your posts to get more views and engagement, you shouldn’t tag inappropriate Instagram profiles to your posts. Instagram can easily flag you for spamming and that’s not something you’ve worked hard towards.
