The process of dismissing a co-author from an Instagram post after its publication involves modifying the post’s settings. Once a post is live, and a collaborator has been tagged, the user initiating the post retains the ability to sever the collaborative link. This action effectively removes the co-author’s name and associated profile from the post, thereby restricting their public association with it.
The ability to dissociate from a shared post offers essential control over one’s digital footprint and content association. This functionality ensures that individual profiles are only linked to content with the explicit consent of the account owner, and that modifications can be made to reflect changes in relationships or evolving content strategies. Furthermore, the capability to adjust post authorship provides a means to correct errors in attribution that may have occurred during the initial publication.
