Beginning May 16, “Photos of You” section will appear on Instagram profiles. What this means is that you can now tag people, just like Facebook, on Instagram. When you tag someone (or if you are tagged), they will receive notification and their photo will be added to the new “Photos of You” section.

If you don’t want other people to see the photo before you approve it, you can adjust your settings accordingly.

What do you think of this? Will you tag others on Instagram?
