Now, contributions will be more visible on posts as well as Reels.
Here’s how you can enhance creator recognition on Instagram
About ‘Enhanced Tags’
Creators are incredibly important to the future of Instagram, and therefore the community has come together to support them. ‘Enhanced Tags’ allow creators’ to view their self-designated profile category on their professional accounts to be displayed in their ‘People Tag’, so that people can share and view a creator’s specific contribution to a post and now Reels too. In simple words, if you’re a makeup artist, songwriter, or another significant collaborator, your contributions will be visible in the post or Reel.
