In October 2021 Instagram launched a new feature called Collabs which allows people to co-author Feed Posts and Reels. When posting (only in the app) you can 'Invite a collaborator'. This uses a similar interface to tag users, feels like it's related.

We have a working implementation of Content Publishing using the Instagram Graph API. When posting media you can tag other users by using user_tags.

&user_tags=
[
{
username:'kevinhart4real',
x: 0.5,
y: 0.8
},
{
username:'therock',
x: 0.3,
y: 0.2
}
]
We'd like to use the API to tag a collaborator to the published media. It doesn't seem to be in the Meta documentation, but is this possible? Again, feels like its related to the user_tags variable.
Collaborators seems to be available now: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/ig-user/media
You have to add a list of usernames to the Post request like this:
