It was just a matter of time, really — we’re well acquainted with Facebook letting us tag friends in our photos, so it’s no shock that a similar feature has just spread to the social network’s mobile darling, Instagram. A version 3.5 update to Instagram’s Android and iOS apps lets users tag others in a shot, whether or not they’re human. After that, a Photos of You section in members’ profiles can show any photo linked to that account. As you might imagine, Instagram is already trying to head off potential privacy issues — account holders have until May 16th before their Photos of You sections become public, and settings will let them turn down connections to any revealing (or simply inaccurate) images. The updated apps are available either now or very shortly in their respective stores; hit the source links if you’ve ever wanted to see how other Instagrammers see you.
