Step 2

Tap anywhere in the post or image. This will pop up a screen where you can search for names of your friends or usernames.
 

Step 3

Start typing the name and if the drop down button on Instagram doesn’t show up, just hit the search or enter button on your keyboard. For the record, I personally feel the Instagram button is buggy and doesn’t work most of the time.

It happens. Sometimes you missed out a friend or family member and it sucks.
Lucky for you, there’s a quick remedy for this.
The first step is to go to the selected photo and the fastest way is through your profile page.
Tap on the image and you will see three round buttons showing up either on the top right of the screen or bottom of the screen (depending on the type of smartphone you are using).
Click on the three round button and tap ‘Add People’.
Using this method, you can easily add people to photos you had uploaded in the past.
