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

SEO

, Instagram allows you to use various interactive stickers in your Stories, including polls and tags (mentions). While you can use both elements in a single Story, they function independently. Here's how you can tag someone in your Instagram Story and also use a poll:

### Tagging Someone in an Instagram Story

1. **Create a Story**: Open the Instagram app and swipe right from your feed or tap the "Your Story" icon at the top of your screen.
2. **Add Content**: Take a photo or video, or choose one from your gallery.
3. **Tag Someone**: Tap the sticker icon (a smiley face) at the top of the screen and select the "@Mention" sticker. Type the username of the person you want to tag. You can resize and move the mention sticker around the screen.
4. **Add a Poll**: Tap the sticker icon again and select the "Poll" sticker. Type your question and the poll options. You can also resize and move the poll sticker around the screen.

### Combining Tag and Poll in One Story

You can add both a tag and a poll to the same Story. Here's the step-by-step process:

1. **Open the Instagram app** and swipe right to access the Story creation screen.
2. **Add your photo or video** content.
3. **Tap the sticker icon** at the top of the screen.
4. **Add a mention sticker**:
   - Select the "@Mention" sticker.
   - Type the username of the person you want to tag.
   - Place the mention sticker where you want it on the Story.
5. **Add a poll sticker**:
   - Tap the sticker icon again.
   - Select the "Poll" sticker.
   - Enter your poll question and options.
   - Place the poll sticker on the Story.

### Example

Suppose you want to tag your friend @john_doe and ask your followers which color they prefer, blue or green. Your steps would look like this:

1. Create your Story with the desired photo or video.
2. Tap the sticker icon and select the "@Mention" sticker to tag @john_doe.
3. Tap the sticker icon again and select the "Poll" sticker to create a poll with the question "Which color do you prefer?" and the options "Blue" and "Green."

### Posting the Story

Once you have added the mention and poll stickers, you can post your Story by tapping the "Your Story" button at the bottom left.

### Viewing Interactions

After posting, you can view interactions with your Story:
- **Viewers and Mentions**: Swipe up on your Story to see who has viewed it and interacted with the mention.
- **Poll Results**: Swipe up on your Story to see the poll results and who voted for each option.

By combining the mention and poll stickers in your Story, you can engage your audience in multiple ways and track their interactions effectively.
