1. Delete the Story and Tag Them Again
Unfortunately, there is no way to tag someone in a story once you have already posted it. You can delete it and repost it with your friend tagged. If you’re sharing anything on your story, once you snap the image or set up a picture from your library to post, press on the screen and type “@” followed by the name of the account you wish to tag. You may also tag someone in your story by touching the square-face sticker in the top right-hand corner, hitting “@MENTION,” and typing the account name. If you want to reupload the story and tag them: 4. Open Instagram. 2. Tap More (iPhone) or More (Android) in the bottom right of the photo or video you’d like to delete. 3. Tap Delete, then tap Delete again to confirm. 5. Tap on Home in the lower-left corner of the screen. 6. Tap on the camera icon in the upper right corner of the screen. 7. Tap on the image in the lower-left corner to bring up your gallery.
Select the picture or video you want to mention someone in.
Tap on the screen to start typing.
Type @ along with the username of the person you want to tag. Here, you also have the option to stop them from sharing this story to their story.
Tap on the persons account name at the bottom.
Tap Done. Remember that you can style the tag by selecting Classic at the top.
Tap Sent To.
Tap Share next to Your Story.
2. Post a New Story and Tag Them
There are a couple of reasons why you would want to tag someone in your Instagram Story. If your post includes a photo or video of the individual, it’s good to tag them. Followers will be able to click over to their profile page, learn more about them, and follow them if they so want. If the stuff you’re publishing is vital to someone else somehow, you may wish to tag them in your post. They will receive a notification that they have gotten tagged, ensuring they do not miss out on the opportunity. Add some text to your Instagram Story and add the person you failed to tag earlier. To accomplish this, follow these steps:
3. Whoever Asks Who’s in the Picture, Send Them Their Name
People may want to see who is tagged in your pictures. When you don’t mention the person, you will get messages from people asking you who is in the picture you posted. To share who is in the pictures with you:
4. If Your Friend Asks Why You Didn’t Mention Them, Say You Forgot
When taking pictures with friends, the expectation is that everyone in the post should get tagged if the picture is posted. Sometimes group pictures have many people, and you may forget to tag one of the people in the story. You can calmly explain to the person you didn’t mention that you forgot to tag them. You can make it up to them by posting a picture of just the two of you and tagging them in that picture.
5. Post the Picture on Your Feed and Tag Them There Instead
Before posting on Instagram, you may tag someone in it. Alternatively, you can update an existing post that has already gotten published to include tags. In the comment section of posts, you can tag someone by: You can also tag the person in your post by:
6. If A Friend Posted The Same Story And They’re Tagged, Share It To Your Story
Rather than having to reupload the whole story, you can just share the mention to your story if they’re tagged in it or uploaded it themselves. This will allow users to find their profile easily without you having to delete and reupload the story again which might look quite awkward. If they’re posted the same picture as you and they’ve tagged you, you should be able to share it to your story if they have this option available. If it’s not them that posted it and a friend posted it, then you can share it to your story if they’re tagged. This will also help if the persons profile is public because this will allow your followers to visit their profile, view the story and click on the persons tag that you forgot to put on your story.
Can You Tag Someone on Instagram After Posting
If you’ve already posted a story, and you forgot to mention people, this can be frustrating. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to tag someone in a story after you’ve posted it. The only option you have in a situation like this is to delete the story you’ve already uploaded and tag everyone in the new one. Besides this, there’s no way you can go back to a story and add new tags – once a story is uploaded, it can never be edited again. Unlike an Instagram post, you can edit a few things like the caption, locations and people you’ve tagged after you’ve already posted it.
The Conclusion
You may forget to tag a friend from time to time. Even if you fail to tag your best friend on the next story you post, you can delete it quickly or repost it. You can follow the steps discussed above to tag them in your story. When you forget to tag your friend, you can always put up a story of an old post with the friend in the previous story. Make sure they get tagged in the post you share in the story. Going back and editing your post is the most convenient approach to tag someone in a post after it has already gone public. It’s pretty simple and shouldn’t take more than a minute. You can tag anyone at any moment, even if it has been months after you published your post. Sharing it with your friend tag is one way to avoid people sending you direct messages to ask you who is the story you posted.
