Instagram Tips and Tricks: Know how to mention someone on Stories

Instagram Tips and Tricks: Do you share Stories on Instagram? Instagram Stories is a feature that lets you share all the moments of your day, not just the ones you want to keep on your profile. The photos and videos shared as stories disappear after 24 hours and do not appear on your profile grid or in feed. Here is how you can mention someone in your stories.

When you mention someone in your Instagram Stories, their username will appear in your story with an underline. Anyone who can see your story can tap it to go to their profile. People you mention will get a push notification telling them that you have mentioned them in your story. They will also get a direct message from you that includes a preview of your story. This preview disappears from the message thread after 24 hours. (REUTERS)
