Finding people you meet in real life on Instagram is about to get a lot easier.
That's because Instagram is gearing up to launch a feature called Nametags, which works like Snapchat Snapcodes, according to TechCrunch. Instead of awkwardly spelling out your Instagram handle, letter by letter, pull up your Nametag and let the person scan it with the Instagram Stories camera to follow you.
Instagram did not immediately respond to PCMag's request for comment, but tells TechCrunch it's currently testing this feature. The report notes that you'll be able to customize your Nametag with a classic "Instagram color gradient background," your favorite emoji, or a selfie.
"Nametags could make it easier for people to visually promote their Instagram account," TechCrunch points out. "Businesses and social media stars could post their Nametag across other social media handles, print it onto posters or handbills or even make merchandise out of it."
Snapchat Snapcodes, first introduced in January 2015, also offer an easy way to add friends. Just point your Snapchat camera at a person's unique Snapcode to add that person in the app. Five months after launching that feature, Snapchat said users were already scanning millions of them each week.
Instagram recently started letting users add working links to hashtags and other accounts in their bios. The Facebook-owned social network has also promised to roll out some changes to "ensure that newer posts are more likely to appear first in feed" so you don't open the app and see a bunch of posts from days ago first thing.
