The new feature is already available globally
Instagram introduced the new feature which is supposed to make connecting and sharing with friends easier. According to a company’s blog post, the feature is called Nametag and it can be used to add friends in person.
Nametag is a customizable identification card that allows people to find your Instagram profile when it’s scanned.
To create your own unique nametag, go to your profile, tap the button with three lines at the top, and select “Nametag.” You can personalize your nametag by touching anywhere on the screen or by tapping the button at the top to try other designs, such as colors, emojis, and selfies with different stickers. To scan someone’s nametag, you can either swipe right into the camera, hover over the nametag and hold down on your screen, or enter the camera by tapping “Scan a nametag” when viewing your own. You can also share your nametag with friends through text messages and over other platforms.
Nametag is available globally on both Android and iOS.
