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 or hold any contribution in your reel. Tagging users in reels is a simple and effective way to drive engagement and increase the reach. It works similar 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.

How to tag a person in Instagram reels

Here’s how you can tag people in a reel before sharing it on your Instagram account.

  1. Create a new reel or add an existing one from your reel drafts.
  2. Tap the “Preview” button at the lower right corner. preview an instagram reel

  4. Tap the “Next” button at the bottom-right corner.
