Hide AdThe Until Tomorrow challenge sees users post a silly photo of themselves on their Instagram page, with the caption ‘Until Tomorrow’.
The photo has to stay up on their feed for the whole day before it can be deleted.
How do you get tagged in the challenge?
If you like one of the ‘Until Tomorrow’ pictures on your feed, you should expect to get a direct message from that person challenging you to post your own embarrassing picture.
An example message you would receive, which was posted on Twitter, would say something like: “So…. you liked my post, so you have to post an embarrassing picture of yourself, for the caption you’re ONLY allowed to write “until tomorrow” and you can only tag me.”

Once your picture has been liked, you’ll need to direct message those people with the rules for the challenge.
What happens if you don’t do the challenge?
With these kinds of internet trends, if you get challenged to take part and you don’t want to do it, nothing will happen.
Early internet chain letters and challenges usually came with a warning of “seven years of bad luck”, or something similar, but modern internet challenges usually don’t.
