How to hide tagged photos on your Instagram profile
If you were unknowingly tagged in someone else’s Instagram post, it could be detrimental to your reputation if it’s something irresponsible. For example, if you were tagged in a post at a raunchy party and your employer sees your social media, it could mean the difference between job security and job hunting.
Luckily, Instagram allows you to block other people tagging you in content and remove your tags from other posts.
Go to your Instagram profile page. From there, press the Menu button that looks like three horizontal lines; this is located in the top right corner.
Curtis Joe / Android Authority
From the subsequent pop-up menus, press Settings–>Privacy–>Posts.
Curtis Joe / Android Authority
Tap Manually Approve Tags under Tagged Posts. You will see all of the posts you’ve been tagged in that appear on your profile. Press Edit to select whichever ones you wish to hide from your profile, then press Hide.

How to tag someone on Instagram* in a photo or video in a post
If you took a photo or video that includes your friends, you can tag them in your post. In this case, links to the accounts of the selected people will appear in the post. If your profile is not private to them, these users will be notified of the post and can quickly view it.
As an example, we'll show you how to tag a person in a photo. Marks on the video are put in the same way.
At the time of publication
Prepare the post for publication: add a photo, adjust colors if necessary, and apply filters.
But don't hit the share button just yet. Instead, select Tag People (iOS) or Tag People (Android). Then tap the photo.
Add the names of the users you want using the search form. When marks appear on the image, you can move them to suitable places. Click the checkmark or Done. Now use the "Share" button to publish the post with all the marks.
In an existing post
Click on the three dots next to the post you want to edit and select Edit (iOS) or Edit (Android). Click "Tag People" (icon with a person), touch the photo and add the necessary people using the search form. When the marks appear on the image, you can move them to the appropriate places. Click on the checkmark or "Done" and then again.
How to tag a person in an Instagram story*
Instagram* allows you to tag people not only in posts, but also in stories. This can be done using a special sticker or the @ symbol. Choose the method that seems more convenient to you.
Using the sticker
Click on the account photo. When the Stories editor opens, add the photo or video you want. Then tap the sticker icon at the top of the screen and select @mention. Start typing a username and select the right person when their profile appears on the screen.
Move the added sticker to a convenient location. If desired, change its scale by pinching and spreading your fingers. After that, you can add other people in the same way. When you're done, publish the story.
Using @
Click on your profile picture. When the Stories editor opens, add the photo or video you want. Touch the screen, enter the @ symbol and immediately after it, start writing the name of the desired user. When the list is displayed, select the person you are looking for. If necessary, add other people in the same way.
Use the color icons and the slider to customize label appearance. When you're done, you can post the story.
How to view posts you've been tagged in and remove tags
Other users can, of course, also tag you in their posts.
