quite some time. Instagram is all about following people and this new
awesome Name tag feature has made it a lot easier. If you have a

be familiar to you. With Nametags, you can simply scan each other’s
account and follow them without any words exchanged. With your Nametag,
people can easily find your account and follow you. So, the next
question that comes in our mind is how this Nametag thing works and

“Scan a nametag” too. Instagram is well known for filters and emojis.
You can personalize your Nametag as per your choice. The Nametag also
has background themes of three types:
- Color: You can change the background color of your choice. Just a tap on the screen will change the color.

Emoji: When you will tap on the screen, you will get the option to
select emojis. The emoji you will select will display all over the

each of the themes is fun. You can simply tap on the screen to explore
the options within these options. While going through this feature, I
