Snapchat adds Instagram-style mention tagging to Stories



Snapchat is borrowing a feature from Instagram now around — somewhat ironic, only if Instagram had barefacedly ripped off the Story feature from Snapchat initial — with the app reportedly adding the power to tag alternative users in stories with a link to their profile, in keeping with TechCrunch.

Snapchat is borrowing a feature from Instagram now around — somewhat ironic, only if Instagram had barefacedly ripped off the Story feature from Snapchat initial — with the app reportedly adding the power to tag alternative users in stories with a link to their profile, in keeping with TechCrunch.

The new feature was initial noticed by Matt Rappaport, and seems to figure as you’d expect: kind out a username within the text field on your image or video caption in Stories, and viewers are going to be ready to faucet thereon to mention a brand new menu linking to the user information, wherever you’ll be ready to directly add them as a follower.

There’s apparently no autofill feature that pops up after you kind the “@” sign, therefore you’ll ought to keep in mind the username of the person you’re wanting to tag, and aforementioned friend won’t apparently get a notification that they’ve been labelled, so that they may not grasp that they’ve been extra to someone’s story till a flood of recent friend requests comes in.

Snapchat confirmed to TechCrunch that “We’re testing this,” though the feature hasn’t unrolled to any or all users and there’s no official word on once to expect it to create a a lot of formal unharness.
