You probably know it: you want to add someone
to Instagram after a nice conversation , but do not
understand the name correctly. With name tags you never have to search for
the profile again, but you add someone directly. That is how it works.
Instagram name tags: that's how
you add people quickly
Instagram has gained a new
function. Following the example of Snapchat and Twitter, the social
network now also has a way to add people directly without
searching. Thanks to name tags, you can add each other directly by
scanning a code.
To add someone with Instagram name tags:
1. Open
the app and go to your profile;
2. Press
the three bars at the top right and select 'Name tag';
3. Your
conversation partner can now scan this code by opening the camera.
After scanning, your Instagram profile will
immediately be shown, after which your new friend will add you. You can
personalize your own Instagram name tag with emoji, colors, selfies and
stickers.
No longer searching
Instagram says that name tags are mainly
meant to add someone directly, without having to search for their
profile. You can also share the codes through other social media, WhatsApp
and SMS.
Instagram is by the way not the only social
network with this possibility. Previously it was already possible to add
friends in this way on Snapchat and Twitter . In
addition, Instagram has been testing the name tags for some time, so the
feature may not be new to you. The update will roll out
immediately. It may take a few days for your device to be updated.
