In this article, we will discuss some clever ways to mention your friends on Instagram stories without anyone else knowing.
Instagram is one of the most used social networks. There are more and more tools, functions and tricks that this application hides. The ‘story’ is the most popular element within this network and the one that allows you to have real-time contact with your followers . We explain some tricks to be able to interact with your friends through stories without others seeing it.
How to Mention Your Friends on Instagram Stories Without Anyone Seeing
Cover the mention
If you plan to add more elements to your story, these will serve to cover up the name of the account you are mentioning. By putting a sticker or the location above the name, you will ensure that your followers do not see who you are mentioning.
Mention off-screen
You can hide mentions by swiping them off the screen . Just make the name smaller with two fingers and drag it to the corner of your phone until it’s hidden. This way, only that person will know that you’ve mentioned them in your stories.
Camouflage the mention
If you want to upload a story that has a lot of uniform space (for example, the sky) you can camouflage the mention using the same color. You have to place it where you want and tap on it to be able to change the color. By pressing the symbol to the left of the colors, you can trace the color of the background so that both are identical.
Check the mentions
Once you’ve used one of these tricks, there’s a way to check if the mention has been sent to other accounts correctly . You need to access the main Instagram screen and go to your conversations. The accounts you’ve mentioned will appear in the top positions.
With these Instagram story tricks, you’ll be able to avoid covering your stories with mentions and the content will be visible without any problems.
