Instagram Collaboration, abbreviated as Instagram Collab, is a feature launched by Instagram back to 2021. It enables users to share the credit of the same post, reels, and photo carousel.

It is easy to distinguish collaborative Instagram posts. The names of all creators will appear in the post. Collaborative Instagram posts will appear on all creators’ profile. Now, you can invite 3 people to join the collaboration. Private accounts can invite both public and private accounts as collaborators, only if the invited account follows the private account. When invite a public account is invited as a collaborator, the post will be shared through the public collaborator.
