Let’s find out how you can block tags on Instagram posts and stories.
Can You Block Tags on Instagram?
Like anyone can tag you on their posts, Instagram allows you to remove yourself from their post if you think they tag-spammed you. Tagging does not just happen with photos. Some people might even @mention you in random posts, comments and stories. If somebody is spamming you with unwanted @mentions, you can block them too. You will learn how to do all these here. Let’s move on.
How to Remove Tag from a Post on Instagram
Do you see a post where somebody tagged you but you have no idea who that person is or what that post means to you? You can go ahead and remove the tag from the particular post on Instagram. For that, open your Instagram account, go to your profile and select the tags tab (rightmost tab). There you will see all the posts you have been tagged. Select any of them and tap the three-dots menu icon to the top-right corner. Tap “Tag Options” from the pop-up menu. To remove the tag from the post, select “Remove Me From Post.” In case you want to keep the tag but remove the post from appearing in your profile, select “Hide From My Profile” instead. Once you remove yourself from a post on Instagram, you cannot retag yourself again if you want to. To get tagged to the same post again, you should ask the other person to tag you.
Remove Multiple Tagged Photos at Once
I bet you can already find over a dozen of posts where you were tagged for nothing but attention. If you really hate these, Instagram has a shortcut to remove tags for all these posts at once. Let’s see how.
Block Tags on Instagram Posts
Now that you have removed yourself from others’ posts, you should make sure to restrict post tagging to people who you really know. For that, you can block all tags on your Instagram account. Once you set the allow tags to “People You Follow” only profile you follow (following, not followers) can tag you in their posts. To block everyone from tagging you, set it to “No One” and you will be free of any headaches.
