Product updates Nov 26, 2018

What are Instagram mentions?

A mention is when someone uses the @ sign immediately followed by your Instagram username. There are two different ways that users can mention your brand on Instagram:

1. Caption mention- when an Instagram user mentions your account @username in their post caption.

2. Comment mention — when an Instagram users mentions your account @username in a comment on a post.

Tags on Instagram posts

Instagram users can also tag your account @username to a photo or video that they shared on Instagram. Accounts tagged in a photo or video are visible to anyone who can see it.
