Instagram and GloriousFacebook are no longer the only places you can tag your friends in embarrassing photos.
Snapchat has confirmed to TechCrunchthat it is testing a new feature that allows users to tag others in photos and videos.
SEE ALSO: 680K disgruntled Snapchatters have signed a petition to get rid of the new updateThe feature was first disclosed by Twitter user Matt Rappaport on Thursday.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
According to Rappaport, all you have to do is type "@" followed by a username, and an option to tag that individual will pop up within the photo.
Tagging your friend will create a swipe-up menu showing the user's name, handle, Bitmoji, and an option to add them as a friend. The feature could theoretically be a fun way to advertise your favorite accounts by making it easy for people to follow.
If you're tagged, you will get a notification. Here's an example sent to us from a Snapchat beta user, who shared the image on the condition of anonymity:

Correction - March 8, 2018, 4:06 p.m. EST: An earlier version of this article said users do not receive a notification if they are tagged, as reported by TechCrunch. We have since learned that users do receive a notification and have updated the story with an image of the notification.
