Instagram tagging#431

Is it possible to have tagging on the picture and in the text for Instagram. I only can use for the moment hashtag i like to be able to do like in Facebook @ link.

Also be able to put tag on the picture.

Thanks

Tagging would be an excellent function to have, how many times do you post and then have to go into the IG app to add the tags! So frustrating, again I guess this is dependant on the Native Instagram integration?

Instagram API does not allow 3rd party apps to search their user base (so that we can show you suggestions for tagging).

At this point there’s not that much we can do about it but wait.

Tagging products?

Yes, this will be an amzing feature! buffer has it! Without it I have to manually edit a post on my photo after posting and it may affect exposure.

Any update on if this may become available? Not having this feature is the only con I have found to Publer so far. I manage so many accounts and having to go back in to each post for each one to tag is super time consuming. A lot of my businesses are in the wedding industry where images shared need to include tags for other accounts/creators involved. Buffer now has this feature and regardless of the API user base search issue, as long as you put the tag in exact it will tag the account for you (in image and comment).

Yes, this feature is desperately needed. On top of this I recently tried to tag people in the captions on Instagram a and got a message that this feature not supported. So no tags in actual photo not in captions.

Josef, funny enough I just did a post and I tagged Instagram accounts with their exact handles in the caption and when I went to look at the post on Instagram, they were tagged! Hoping this wasn’t just a lucky glitch!

Yes, I suspected it will go through. Ty for letting me know.

Instagram posting is literal… if you type in @InstagramHandle it works, but Publer can’t check to see if its the right one due ot API limitations

As a follow up, not only would tagging when posting be extremely helpful, so would be saving a group of tags like one popular IG platform allows. This would allow you to add tags to posts just like with signatures and shortcodes.

Coming here to “tag” on the new IG collaborations feature. (It’s done in the same step on IG and notifies the user as a tag, so I don’t believe this is scope creep on this ask)
