    On android you just type the @symbol and start typing the name of the person you want to mention. :-)

    Justin, your explanation was very thorough, appreciate, I have Ipad 3 and Iphone 4 and I cannot @mention to people commenting on my photos. I have tried, my husband has and I do not get pop up at bottom of screen, it goes directly to my page. I have searched and searched for some answers on net to no avail and want to acknowledge those who have acknowledged me. Thank you

    Someone mentioned me somewhere, but the post wouldn’t load and now I can’t find the user or the notification anymore. Is there a list where I can find past instagram mentions?
