Instagram is testing a new group mention feature that will allow users to tag more than one person in a story using a single mention.
In a post on his broadcast channel on Friday, Instagram head Adam Mosseri said: “We’re testing a way to tag a group of people in a story using a single mention. Once you create a group mention, it can be reused by anyone in the group to automatically tag everyone in any new stories.
“So if you’re on a summer trip with friends, you can more easily include everyone without needing to tag each person individually.”
This feature will be helpful, as tagging multiple people in one mention will make stories cleaner and less cluttered, providing a better viewing experience for followers.
