\"\"<\/a>Instagram<\/a> is finally getting photo tagging on the iPhone and Android. The feature works much like Facebook’s photo tagging, which is no surprise as Facebook<\/a> owns Instagram. There’s also a new section in your profile called “Photos of You” where you can browse all of the photos you’ve been tagged in.<\/p>\n

Previously, users had to @ mention their friends as a sort of pseudo-tag. By doing this, your friends would get a notification about the photo. Now you can actually tag a photo with your friend’s name and have it show up in his or her feed directly. You can even tag companies who have Instagram accounts.<\/p>\n

To use photo tags, take a picture of someone and you’ll have a tag option in the description page. Your friend will then get an alert that they’ve been tagged and the photo will be added to their “Photos of You” section.<\/p>\n

Privacy is always a concern so Instagram allows you to hide pictures<\/strong> you don’t want to show up in your own photo feed. Users can also set the app to automatically block all photos until you’ve approved them<\/strong>. Still, users won’t be able to untag themselves from a picture.<\/p>\n

You can get the Instagram 3.5 update with photo tagging for iPhone<\/a> and Android<\/a>.<\/p>\n
