If you want to mention someone in an Instagram story but don\u2019t want their name or photo to show up in the story, there are a few things you can do. First, make sure that the person you want to mention is following you on Instagram. Once they are, open up their story and click on the three lines in the top left-hand corner of the screen. From here, select \u201cAdd Storyline\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you have added a storyline, select \u201cPeople You May Know\u201d and find the person you want to mention. Next, drag their name or photo into the story box. Finally, hit \u201cDone\u201d and your mention will appear as a hidden comment on their story!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to mention someone in your story without having their full name show, you can use the “@username” format. For example, if you’re mentioning your friend Hannah, you could say “@hannahbaker123”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to keep mentions of someone on your Instagram story private, there are a few different ways you can go about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can either hide the person’s username or profile picture, or you can delete the mention altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s how to do each:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hide the Username: To hide a username on Instagram, simply click on the three lines in the top left corner of their profile and select “Hide Name.” This will make their username disappear from your feed and story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hide the Profile Picture: To hide a profile picture on Instagram, just hover your cursor over their photo and click on the little arrow that appears next to “View Profile Picture.” This will make their photo disappear from your feed and story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Delete a Mention: If you want to completely remove a mention from your story, just open up the story itself (it’ll show up as a horizontal list in the main Instagram app), tap on the mention, and then tap on “Delete.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to mention someone in a story on Instagram but still keep their privacy, there are a few ways to do it. First, you can simply omit their name from the post altogether. Second, you can use hashtags to reference them without mentioning their name. Third, you can use the person\u2019s username in the post instead of their full name. Finally, you can add a caption that references the person without mentioning their name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ghost tagging is when you tag someone in a photo but their name doesn’t show up on the screen. This can be done by holding down the “control” (PC: “command”) key and clicking on the person you want to tag, then typing in their name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are mentioning someone in a story on Instagram, they will only see the mention if they follow both you and the person you are mentioning. If the person you are mentioning does not follow you, they will not see the mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you want to mention someone’s story on Instagram, you can do so by using the “@” symbol before the person’s name. This will hide the story from your followers and only show to people who follow that person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to repost a story on Instagram without tagging the person who posted it, there are a few steps you can take. First, open up the story you want to repost and click on the three dots in the top right corner. This will open up the option to share it with friends or followers. Next, select the option to copy link instead of including the original story’s link. Finally, paste this link into your post:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
