One of the most anticipated features for all users is the possibility for anyone who has an Instagram account to tag products. And finally, the company has decided to take the step to make this happen. Infobae brings all the news and what exactly is achieved with this new feature.

Previously, only brands with profiles or influencers (as recognized by Instagram) had the ability to do this. Therefore, it was a function reserved for those who considered themselves content creators.

Well, others didn't like this conditioning because it limited their ability to help a friend who sells a product on the social network and even companies in which they have a lot of trust.

What is the new Instagram feature like

Fortunately, the social network itself has confirmed in a message that things are definitely changing and therefore anyone with a public account can tag the products that are for sale on Instagram.

This allows users to access directly by clicking on the appropriate place (and they don't have to go to the company profile and then search until they find what they saw in a photo or as part of a Story like before).

With this move will be a great help to small businesses because, among other things, they can make their products much more visible and that all users can support them. By the way, there is no financial reward for this, since the motivation should only be the recommendation.

For now, a feature available only in the United States

This is the bad side, as deployment officially begins only in the US. UU. Of course, it can be expected that the possibility of direct product labeling by all users will soon be extended to other regions.

The truth is that this is an excellent opportunity that opens the door for everyone to directly show what they like on this social network and, for example, if you have tried a board game lately and had good impressions, you can link directly to the page where it is possible to buy it on Instagram. One way to make the platform more useful, and that's what it's all about.

3 tricks to make Instagram Stories like an influencer

Hide hashtags

Hashtags, while useful, can make history a little dirty, so using this simple method you can hide them while maintaining their functionality without covering up the content.

To do this, simply place them behind a GIF or emoji or, more obviously, set the fill color the same way as the background, making them invisible to followers but not for Instagram.

Add new templates to Instagram

Instagram templates can be installed to give Stories more difference and exclusivity. To do this, you need to download the Unfold Story Templates app on Android, or Crehana for iPhone.

With either application, users can get a library of hundreds of templates with many effects and fonts to apply to stories.

Expand the color palette

To expand the range of colors you want to use in a Story, you need to open the Story and select the brush.

If you press and hold any of the colors that appear in the preset palette, the entire palette will appear with all the colors for you to choose from.
