Instagram introduces pinning posts and videos on the profile page. Simple and efficient to highlight up to three content.
Web platforms, especially social platforms, must be constantly updated if they are to retain their users and attract new ones. This includes introducing new features and improving existing ones. A way of working that platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are now very well mastered. The latter is currently rolling out a very interesting feature.
Instagram introduces pinning posts and videos on the profile page
After testing started last April, Instagram decided to roll out the pin to all users. This allows users to highlight posts they absolutely want others to see. When you pin an image or video, it appears above the list of photos on your profile page. Thus, three contents can be distinguished using this method.
A simple and efficient way to select up to three elements
To use pinning, you need to click on the icon with three small dots on an individual post and then select “Pin to your profile”. A feature that ends up being pretty simple, but that should make it easier to distribute your favorite content for now. And prevent your followers from missing out on content on days when you post a lot.
The launch of this feature coincides with the addition of new features to Reels by Instagram and Facebook. In particular, you can now add interactive stickers to clips and import your own audio. Meta also increased the maximum length of the reels to 90 seconds. Referring to all these changes, Instagram Chief Product Officer Adam Mosseri said it will be easier for creators to interact and share their work with their community. And to add that the company was also considering other ways to give users control over their profile page.
