Instagram now lets you tag contacts in your photos
The photo retouching social network best-known and most popular in the media launches new version both for terminals Android and iPhone This time it is aupdate with a new function for Instagram An issue that, although it had gone unnoticed, is one of the keys from any social network: the ability to tag contacts in photosThis means calling other users' attention to avoid them having to look for the image on their feed or wall
As we say, this novelty comes from an update, and they have given it the name Photos of You or Fotos de ti in its Spanish translation. A corner where you can find all the images in which has been tagged, but that do not belong directly to the user. An issue that implies, in turn, a tagging service when publishing images in which you want to mention others contacts, users, brands, etc Without any type of restriction and as comfortable as just touching the image.
Thus, after taking a photo with Instagram and applying its filters and effects , a new option appears when publishing.It's called Add People and allows you to place tags on different parts of the photo or ondifferent faces just by touching that place, in the usual way you are used to Facebook, for example. Thus, you can search for Instagram contacts after having marked a place, appearing suggestions with just type a couple of letters of the username.
When posting, the contact included will receive a notification, but will not have the authority to add and tag new contacts You can only see the pictures you've been tagged in in the new Pictures of you menu, to which you accessed from the profile tab This menu acts as a photo album where you can see all images where it has been included, but without further possibilities.
But Instagram goes further thinking about the user's privacy , something that was surely influenced by the experience of Facebook (owner company) Thus, only has authority over the image user who created it But, also, until May 16, at which time it will be fully activates this new function, the user can choose from the settings of Pictures of you the possibility of preselect what appears and what does not appear in this section In addition, it is also possible to remove its label or Do not go public just by clicking on the image and selecting these options. And it is that, as of that date, this section may be consulted by the followers of a user. A new way to discover and find others to follow
As an extra piece of information, we must also say that the version of Instagram for Android includes a function when taking a screenshot : the thirds grid A grid that makes it easy for the user to choose the points of attention in an imageand thus improve its composition. Both the new version for Android and for iPhone can now be downloaded viaGoogle Play and App Store respectively and without any cost
