There are a ton of occasions where sharing an Instagram collab post can be more powerful than simply tagging another account. Read on if you want to learn how to create an Instagram collab post and the benefits of doing so.
What is an Instagram Collab Post?
Instagram announced Collab posts in late 2021 and said the feature would allow for two accounts to share a Feed post or Reel. The original author can tag another account to become a collaborator, or co-author, which allows the post to be posted from two accounts.
According to Instagram, a Collab post between two accounts means:
- Both account names will appear on the header of the post
- The post will be shared with both sets of followers
