Instagram Introduced Its New Feature – Photo Tagging

Instagram users will now be getting a dose of one of Facebook’s most popular photo features called Photo of You, which allows users to tag themselves or friends in picture uploads. This section will be populated with images that have been tagged with your username.

Before you can use the new feature, you’ll need to upgrade to version 3.5 of the app on your iPhone or Android device. Once you are running the latest version of Instagram, you will see an Add People line on Instagram’s Share screen after you have cropped and filtered your photo. Tapping on the Add People line opens a screen asking you to tap the photo to add people. When you do this, a small tag appears, asking Who’s this? Very much like Facebook’s tagging friends.

Instagram must know that many of its users are wary of this new photo-tagging feature. Photos of You won’t be made public until May 16, giving you two weeks to try out the feature and adjust your privacy settings accordingly.

So what are you waiting for? Update your Instagram via Google Play Store or Apple App Store and download the new version of the app.
