Q: I added product tags but they're not showing on my Instagram post. Why?

A: A few specific things hide tags. One: your Shopping access is still under review or got revoked — no approved shop, no tags. Two: the product is out of stock or unavailable in your catalog, so Instagram suppresses the tag rather than show a dead link. Three: the tagged product violates a policy and got pulled silently. Four: regional restrictions — the tag won't render for viewers in countries where you don't sell.

Check your catalog status and the specific product's availability first; those cover most cases.

Also worth knowing: tags can take a short while to populate right after you publish, and editing an already-posted item's tags is limited on some formats. If it matters, get tagging right before you hit share, not after.
