  1. Instagram to Utilise "NAMETAGS" Scanning to Conveniently Follow People

  2. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF REPORTS THAT THAT CAME OUT LATELY CLAIMING THAT INSTAGRAM IS CURRENTLY ON THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING A BRAND NEW FEATURE WHICH IS QUITE SIMILAR TO WHAT SNAPCHAT IS USING AS THE QR CODES. SOME EXPERTS WHO ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE UPCOMING FEATURE HINTED THAT THIS WOULD BE DUBBED AS THE NEW “NAMETAGS”. THEY ALSO STATED THAT WHEN IMPLEMENTED ON THE PLATFORM, THE FEATURE WILL MAKE INSTAGRAM USERS FOLLOW PEOPLE THAT THEY MEET IN REAL LIFE CONVENIENTLY. ALSO, THE FEATURE WILL ALSO ALLOW THOSE THAT THEY FOLLOWED TO FOLLOW THEIR FOLLOWERS BACK.

  3. IT WAS ALSO REPORTED THAT INSTAGRAM WOULD THEN GENERATE IMAGES THAT ARE RESPECTIVELY UNIQUE TO EACH USER. GIVEN THIS SETUP, AN INSTAGRAM USER CAN THEN USE SUCH IMAGE FOR SCANNING IN THE INSTAGRAM APP. DOING THIS WILL THEN ALLOW THE ONE WHO DID THE SCAN TO AUTOMATICALLY FOLLOW THAT PERSON. ASIDE FROM THE REPORTS, IT WAS ALSO REVEALED THAT ONE USER CLAIMED THAT HE HAD SEEN THE SAID FEATURE IN THE WILD. HE ALSO HAS SENT SOME SCREENSHOTS TO TECHCRUNCH WHICH EVENTUALLY BECAME THE BASIS FOR THE CREATION OF A BRIEF VIDEO THAT SOMEHOW DEMONSTRATES THE FEATURE AND THIS WAS PUBLISHED ON SEARCH ENGINE JOURNAL.

  4. GIVEN THE UPCOMING FEATURE, A LOT OF SEO EXPERTS AND DIGITAL MARKETERS ARE OPTIMISTIC THAT THIS WILL GREATLY HELP THE DIGITAL MARKETING INDUSTRY SINCE THE “NAMETAGS” CAN ALSO BE USED FOR MARKETING TOOLS SUCH AS POSTERS, HANDBILLS, CATALOGUES AND BUSINESS CARDS. BUT DESPITE THE REPORTS AND RUMOURS, INSTAGRAM HAS NOT YET AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT WHICH IS CENTRED ON THIS TOPIC.
