Instagram has added new Enhanced tags for its app. The new tagging feature allows users to tag collaborators better. With this feature, content creators will be able to provide credits to different people who have worked upon the content and also provide them with the option to define the roles like photographers, scriptwriters, etc.
This will help other artists who collaborate into creating content to get more limelight that usually go unnoticed.
Instagram has also acknowledged the same in the official announcement.
“Proper creative credit and recognition is a starting point for discovery, new opportunities and economic empowerment. For many Black and underrepresented creators, crediting is an entryway to building a sustainable career as a creator, while combating cultural appropriation and ensuring the world knows who is driving culture”.
However, Instagram creators have found several workarounds to provide proper credit to other artists by putting their names in the post-credit scenes or at the beginning of the video. Some also directly tag them on the photo or video they post.
Some mention them in the description box of the photo or video post.
