Can you tag someone in an Instagram Story using a link?

No, you cannot directly tag someone in an Instagram Story using a link. Instagram doesn't provide a feature to tag specific users using a hyperlink within a Story.

However, you can mention or tag someone in the text portion of your Story and then include a swipe-up link. This allows you to direct your followers to a specific URL, such as a website, blog post, or product page. To include a swipe-up link, you need to meet certain requirements, such as having a business account with at least 10,000 followers or being verified.

Here's how to include a swipe-up link in your Instagram Story:

1. Take a photo or video, or select one from your gallery.
2. Tap on the chain icon at the top of the screen.
3. Enter the URL you want to link to.
4. Customize the call-to-action text (optional).
5. Post your Story.

Keep in mind that the ability to include swipe-up links in Stories is limited to accounts that meet certain criteria, and it's not possible to tag someone directly using a link in an Instagram Story.
