Instagram is testing a new feature for its app that would let you pin particular posts above the grid on your profile page.
Instagram is testing a new feature that would let you pin particular posts above the grid on your profile page.
Instagram confirmed to TechCrunch that it’s considering adding content-pinning to its app, telling the news outlet: “We’re testing a new feature that lets people feature posts on their profile.” Giving users the ability to pin specific posts to their profile page will be great for, say, professional photographers, as it will offer an easy way to showcase particular work rather than leave it buried deep in the feed. Brands and influencers would also surely welcome the chance to have more control over the appearance of their profile pages.
We should point out that as this is a test, there’s a chance it won’t be rolled out to the entire community. However, if it proves popular and works as planned, expect Instagram to introduce the feature — or at least a version of it — in the coming months.
