How tagging someone in a reel helps?

Most people may wonder what’s the use of tagging on Instagram reels. Well, it is a good idea to tag people who relate to or have any contribution in your reel. Tagging users in reels is a simple and effective way to drive engagement and increase reach. It works similarly to Facebook and Twitter wherein Instagram notifies a user that XYZ person tagged or mentioned them in a reel. Tagging also helps you get more views, likes, and shares on your reels without much effort.

While tagging is entirely different from #hashtags, you can smartly add tags in reels to get attention from a friend, influencer, business, brand, or community.

Now let’s see how you can tag someone on Instagram reels, before or after posting a reel.
