How do I tag someone on an Instagram video?

Add tags to your Instagram video the same way you do in a photo.

From here, tap “Tag people” and search for the Instagram accounts you want to tag.

Can I tag someone on another person’s post?

No. Unlike Facebook, you can only tag your own Instagram pictures and videos. You can, however, mention someone in the comments of another person’s post.

When you mention a friend in a comment, he or she will not see the post unless it is on a public account, or it is a private account they follow.

How can I see people tagged in someone else’s photo?

If people have been tagged in an Instagram photo, you’ll see a small black circle with a profile picture on the lower-left corner of the post.
