Have you ever found it difficult to post a story because it takes an exceeding amount of time to just tag the number of people in it? Well, Instagram is rolling out a new feature that will enable you to tag a bunch of people with just one click. Currently, the platform is working on a new enhancement, it is still in the testing stage and would arrive in the coming days, which will possibly make it easier for users and also save a lot of time.

On Thursday, 11th August, Adam Mosseri the head of Instagram made an announcement saying, “We are testing a way to tag a group of people in a story using a single mention. Once you create a group mention, it can be reused by anyone in the group to automatically tag everyone in any new stories. So, if you are on a summer trip with friends, you can more easily include everyone without needing to tag each person individually.”

In order to access the feature, users will have to create a group for mentions. You can add members within as per your preferences or the individuals from your friend’s group. After that, whenever you wish you upload a story or post with the same group of people, you can just search for the entitled group mention and everyone from the list will be tagged in just one go.

The feature will surely reduce the workload of manually tagging everyone and if the list goes up to 10 to 15 people, it becomes quite hectic. But with the new amendment, users will be saved from misery and also it is convenient for them. Hence, also improving user engagement. Instagram has altered the existing feature instead of introducing a new one, but it will surely be beneficial.

Earlier the platform rolled out many features like downloading reels, which come with a trademark just as it is available for users on TikTok. Then the notes feature which appears above the DMs section and later also added the benefit of putting up songs on the notes.
