Yes, you can tag someone in an Instagram Story. When you tag someone in your Instagram Story, their username will appear as a clickable link, allowing viewers to tap on it to visit their profile. Here's how to tag someone in an Instagram Story:

1. **Create Your Story**: Open the Instagram app on your mobile device and tap on your profile picture at the top left corner of the screen or swipe right from the feed to access the camera. Capture a photo or video, or select an existing photo or video from your camera roll to use in your Story.

2. **Add Text, Stickers, or Drawings (Optional)**: Before tagging someone, you can add text, stickers, drawings, or other creative elements to your Story to personalize it and make it more engaging.

3. **Tap on the Sticker Icon**: Once you've customized your Story, tap on the sticker icon at the top of the screen. It looks like a square smiley face icon.

4. **Select the Mention Sticker**: In the sticker tray, locate and tap on the "Mention" sticker. It's represented by the "@" symbol.

5. **Type the Username**: A text box will appear on your Story. Type the username of the person you want to tag. As you type, Instagram will suggest usernames based on your followers and contacts.

6. **Select the Username**: Tap on the username of the person you want to tag from the suggestions that appear. The username will now appear as a clickable link in your Story.

7. **Customize and Position the Tag**: You can resize, rotate, or reposition the tag as desired by using pinch gestures or dragging it with your finger.

8. **Post Your Story**: Once you're satisfied with your Story and the tagged user, you can post it to your Story by tapping on the "Your Story" button at the bottom left corner of the screen.
