What is Instagram's new feature "Name Tag"?
Recently, a new feature called "Name Tag" has been added to Instagram.
A "Name Tag" is like a QR code that helps you share your account with someone else.
When scanned, your account will be displayed on their screen, allowing them to follow you easily.

Until now, you had to type in usernames with letters and numbers to find accounts,
but with the introduction of "Name Tag," it’s become easier to connect on Instagram.
So, how do you use it?
① How to create your own "Name Tag"
By tapping the square icon at the top of your profile screen, your "Name Tag" will appear immediately.

You can choose the design of your "Name Tag" from colors, selfies, and emojis.
Especially, there are many types of emojis available, so using your favorite emoji is recommended.

② How to scan someone else's "Name Tag" that you are with
To scan someone else's "Name Tag" that you are with,
simply press the button that says [Scan Name Tag] and hold your smartphone over it.
It will match instantly, and all you have to do is press the follow button to complete the process.

It's similar to how you add friends using QR codes on LINE.
③ How to scan the "Name Tag" of someone who is far away
The highlight of this new feature is that you can connect with people who are far away and not physically present.
First, you can ask that person to send you their "Name Tag" via LINE or any other platform, and save it on your smartphone.
Then, press the button in the upper right corner,
select the image of that person’s "Name Tag," and, once again, you will match instantly!
