Edit the Caption: Once the edit menu is open, direct your attention to the caption field. Here, you have the freedom to mention your collaborators. To do this, append the '@' symbol before the username of each collaborator. An example might look something like this: '@johndoe @janedoe Loved working on this project with you both!'
Save Your Changes: After adding the desired collaborators, confirm your changes by tapping 'Done.' Your post is now successfully updated with credits to your collaborators.

Remember, acknowledging collaborations in your Instagram posts not only gives credit where it's due but also promotes a culture of unity and appreciation.

This alternative method brings a geographic context to your collaboration while acknowledging your co-creators. Follow the steps below to incorporate this into your Instagram strategy:

Access the Post Menu: Find and tap on the menu icon of your post. In the subsequent dropdown list, select 'Add to Photo Map.'
Select a Location: Once you've opted to add to the Photo Map, you'll be prompted to identify the location related to your post. This could be the place where the featured photo was taken or a location relevant to the post's context.
