Can you add mentions to Instagram Stories?

Yes, you can add mentions to Instagram Stories. Adding mentions allows you to tag other Instagram users in your Story, giving them visibility and potentially increasing engagement. Here's how to do it:

1. Create Your Story: Open the Instagram app and create your Story by taking a photo, recording a video, or selecting content from your camera roll.

2. Add Text or Stickers: Once you have your content ready, you can add text, stickers, or other elements to your Story as desired.

3. Mention Sticker: To add a mention, tap on the sticker icon (the square smiley face) at the top of the screen. Then select the "mention" sticker, which looks like the "@" symbol.

4. Tag the User: Type "@" followed by the username of the Instagram user you want to mention. Instagram will provide suggestions as you type, making it easier to select the correct account.

5. Customize and Position: Once you've selected the user, you can customize the appearance of the mention sticker by tapping on it. You can resize, reposition, or rotate the sticker as needed.

6. Share Your Story: After customizing your Story, share it by tapping "Your Story" at the bottom of the screen.

When you mention someone in your Instagram Story, they will receive a notification, and their username will be tappable within your Story, allowing viewers to visit their profile directly. This can be a great way to collaborate with other users, give shoutouts, or engage with your audience.
