Instagram plans to copy a new feature that was already on Snapchat And it's not the first time this has happened. On other occasions, we have seen how the social network of filters copied characteristics of Snapchat. Now this duplicate feature has to do with the function of finding new people to follow.
Confirmation has come from Instagram itself. The company has explained to TechCrunch that it will shortly add a feature called Nametags. Something very similar to Snapcodes.
If you don't really know what this function is about, it is an option with which you can create so-called Nametags A kind of codes with which users can be more easily identified. Something like a QR code. This can be especially useful for those with a somewhat difficult name or unusual characters.
If you've been a Snapchat user, you'll know that this feature has been around on the tool for quite some time. In fact, Snapcodes were released in January 2015.
In any case, it seems that for the moment, Instagram is testing the operation of Nametags. Whether it will arrive sooner or later for some or all users is still anyone's guess.
What are Nametags and how do they work on Instagram
Nametags can be scanned with the phone's camera, of course.It will be enough to activate the Instagram Stories and from there it will be possible to identify them These Nametags will also be personalized. Its owners will be able to include emojis, photos and filters. Everything that is necessary for them to be to your liking.
In this way, by sharing these Nametags, users will be able to promote their profiles on Instagram And try to get more followers among friends from your friends and other acquaintances. In addition, it is a very good formula to quickly follow someone you have just discovered on Instagram.
To create and personalize your own Nametag it will be enough to access the menu specially enabled for this purpose, at the top of the screen. From there, the user can choose a background with the Instagram logo or choose their own image You can also include, as we said, your favorite emoji or emojis or your own photo.That you can also customize and dress up with the classic Instagram filters.
From there, users who want to use your Nametag will see your username in the center of the image. As soon as they have scanned it, they will immediately access your account. And they can start enjoying your posts.
When will the new Nametags be available?
According to those responsible for Instagram, at the moment the new Nametags are in the testing phase. In other words, it is still a function in full development, for which there is no official confirmation date.
In any case, when the function is active, users will see a QR scanner access button enabled in the application. Which will be the gateway to the tag editorFor now it is not possible to guarantee that the famous Nametags reach the common users.
But it would be logical that after a short testing period, everyone who has an Instagram account can access this tool and start creating and using Nametags .
