Use Later’s Tags feature to find images and videos you've been tagged in on Instagram. Then add the media to your library and repost it to your feed.
Limitations:
- Tags is available on current paid plans
- Tags is only available for Instagram business and creator profiles
- This feature is not supported through our iOS and Android mobile apps
- You can collect single images, videos, and carousel posts from public Instagram posts you’re tagged in
- Tags doesn't include Instagram Stories
- Later will only pull in tagged media once the tag is approved within Instagram
- Due to API limitations from Instagram, posts that include audio from Instagram’s library can’t be retrieved using Later’s Collect features
Important:
- Always ask for permission to repost content that you don’t own
- When reposting content, you must credit the original creator. Ex: '📷 credit: @foryoufoodie’
- Be sure to always follow Instagram's Community Guidelines when reposting content
Get Started with Tags
- In Later on the web, make sure you’re in the Access Group you want to collect media from Tags for
- Click Media > Tags
- Make sure the correct Instagram profile has been selected
- Click Get Started, agree to the Guidelines, and click Agree & Continue
Collect Media from Instagram Posts You’re Tagged In
- In Tags, select the post you want to collect
- If you can’t find the post you’re looking for, you might need to approve the tag within Instagram first
- Click Add to Library
- The username, caption, and hashtags from the original post will be added to your Notes so you can credit the content owner
Important: Due to Instagram’s API limitations, @mentions of other users in the original caption won’t include the “@” in your Notes. Be sure to add the “@” if you want to re-mention users in your repost.
Note: Posts you’re tagged in are sorted by the date of the original Instagram post and the date you were tagged. If you were recently tagged in an old post, this post will show up in your Tags under the original post date among newer posts.
