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.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/guides/content-publishing#publish-with-tagged-users

POST graph.facebook.com/17841400008460056/media?

&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.
