Who can see posts I’m tagged in?

Answered by Michael Wilson

When it comes to the visibility of posts that you’re tagged in on Instagram, it’s important to consider the privacy settings of your account. By default, if your account is set to public, anyone who can see your posts will also be able to see the photos or videos that you are tagged in. This means that not only your followers, but anyone who comes across your profile or the specific post will be able to view it.

In addition to the post being visible to the general public, the person you tagged in the photo or video will also receive a notification. This notification serves as a way to let them know that they have been tagged in a post on your account. They can then choose to view, like, or comment on the post if they wish.

However, it’s worth noting that if your account is set to private, the visibility of the posts you’re tagged in will be restricted to your approved followers only. In this case, only the people who are following you will be able to see the tagged posts, and the person you tagged will still receive a notification.

It’s important to be aware that even if your account is set to private, when you tag someone in a post and they are not one of your approved followers, they will be able to see the post as long as it is set to public. This is because the visibility of the post is determined by the account of the person who posted it, not the person who is tagged.

In terms of privacy and control over who can see posts you’re tagged in, Instagram provides some options. You can manually remove tags from your posts or adjust your privacy settings to approve tags before they appear on your profile. This allows you to have more control over the content that is associated with your account.

To summarize, if your Instagram account is set to public, anyone who can see your posts will be able to see the photos or videos that you are tagged in. The person you tagged will also receive a notification. If your account is set to private, only your approved followers will have access to the tagged posts, but the person you tagged will still receive a notification. It’s essential to be mindful of your privacy settings and make use of the available options to control the visibility of the posts you’re tagged in.
