Are you trying to find Instagram photos you're tagged in? When someone tags you in a photo, the post instantly appears in the Photos of You section of your profile.

This wikiHow guide will teach you easy ways to show tagged photos on your Instagram profile using your Android, iPhone, iPad, or computer. As well as how to unhide, approve, and control who can tag you in photos.
