How to Tag a Location on Instagram

A location tag, also known as a GeoTag, on Instagram puts a place on a literal map. Location tags tell your followers where you are or where the picture was taken.

If you have a brick and mortar location like a store, office, restaurant, salon, or studio, tagging is a great way to literally put your business on the map on Instagram. A location tag provides your physical address and location on a map so that customers can find your business. Always use tags when posting from your Instagram account, even for an Instagram contest—you never know where your next customer will be!

To tag a location on Instagram:

  1. Tap “Add Location”
  2. Search for your location.
  3. Select it and post the photo.

How do I check my Instagram activity results?

Checking your results on Instagram is important to optimizing your performance. Up until recently, Instagram didn’t give any statistics about your posts and account except for the number of likes, replies, and mentions of your profile.

However, this has changed with the introduction of the Instagram Business Account (very similar to Facebook Business) which gives you access to Instagram Insights. It, however, has some limitations. For example, you get the data for the last seven days only. Not long, right? It’s impossible to conduct a thorough analysis on such a short timeframe. Also, when your Stories disappear, you lost their data. To understand your performance on Instagram, you need something extra, some external tool. Like Sotrender.

How to delete comments on Instagram?

Sometimes you post a comment and then realize that something’s wrong with it. Misspelling a word, tagging the wrong person, or even posting it on the wrong post. And sometimes you want to delete a rude comment that someone left under your photo. Thankfully, Instagram lets you delete comments, even if it’s not so obvious how to do it ar first.

But it’s really easy – you just need to complete the following steps:

  • First – Tap the ‘Comment’ button under the photo to see all comments.
  • Touch the comment that you want to delete and swipe left until the trashcan icon appears on the screen.
  • Tap on the trashcan icon and then click ‘Delete’.
  • Re-write your comment so that it’s how you intended.

How can I delete my Instagram photos?

Sometimes you post a picture on Instagram and after several minutes (days, or even years!) you change your mind and want to delete it. Thankfully, Instagram makes this easy to do.

  1. Go to Instagram on your smartphone.
  2. Click your profile button at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Review your photos and tap the one you want to delete.
  4. Tap the options icon (three dots in the right-hand corner of the screen).
  5. Tap ‘Delete’.
  6. Confirm the deletion.

You can do this with as many pictures as you want but it’s still not possible to delete more than one post at the same time.

How do I delete videos on Instagram?

Sometimes you change your opinion about one of your Instagram videos and decide to delete it. It’s possible to delete videos on Instagram, and it’s the same as deleting a photo.

Within the Instagram app on your phone or tablet, you are allowed to delete only one video at a time. Follow these steps to delete any of your unwanted Instagram videos:

  • Open Instagram on your phone/tablet.
  • Log in to your Instagram account.
  • Tap your profile icon in the lower-left corner.
  • Search for the video you wish to remove (Try the grid format to better see your videos).
  • Open the video you want to delete and tap it.
  • Tap ‘Options’ (…) in the upper-right corner.
  • Tap ‘Delete’ and then confirm your decision.

For now, Instagram, unfortunately, doesn’t give a possibility to delete several videos on Instagram at one time.

How To Find Someone’s Instagram By Username

You can actually search for specific accounts, hashtags, and places in this same spot.

As you spend time on Instagram, the app will get to know you. The search tab will be populated with suggested categories and posts that Instagram thinks you might enjoy. This is a great place to find new people or hashtags to follow!

How To Find Facebook Friends On Instagram

2019 Instagram Update: Instagram used to allow you to search for friends from your Facebook contacts under settings after you connected your Instagram account to your Facebook account. This feature is no longer supported.

Some people have had success installing an older version of the Instagram app to access this feature, but we don’t suggest trying this. Instead, try searching for your friends by name, or share your Instagram Nametag on Facebook and invite your friends to follow you.

How To Find Someone You Know On Instagram

To find friends you already know on Instagram, you will start by syncing up your phone’s contact list.

To sync your contact list:

  1. Tap the profile image on the bottom right of the screen (it’s your profile pic).
  2. On your profile page, click the three lines in the top right corner to reveal the settings and menu options.
  3. Click on Discover People and connect your contacts.
  4. Tap on the “Follow” button next to the people you want to follow from the list that populates on the Contacts tab. You can also follow people from the Suggested tab in this menu section.
  5. You can also go to your main settings by clicking on the settings gear at the bottom of the menu, tapping “Follow and Invite Friends” and following contacts there or inviting friends.

Instagram Tip: If your friend’s Instagram account is private, you may have to tap “Request” instead of “Follow,” so they can approve the connection.
