According to recent reports, Instagram has started allowing some users to pin Instagram posts at the top of their profiles using a new “Pin to Your Profile” option. Last weekend, an India-based Instagram user took to Twitter to report thatthe new button has started appearing for their IG posts.

The feature is similar to Twitter’s pinned tweet option that lets users pin a specific tweet at the top of their profile to highlight it. On Instagram,users will be able to pin their best-performing posts, favorite pictures, or product videosto highlightthem to their visitors. For those who don’t know, Instagram already allows users to pin comments too.
This comes in addition to the rumored Edit Grid feature on Instagram, whichwill allow users to rearrange their photo gridto help users keep their favorites photos and videos on top while the rest can slide down. This hasn’t been rolled out yet.
It is also worth mentioning that the “Pin to Your Profile” button wasspottedby the reputable reverse app engineer Alessandro Paluzzi earlier this year. In afollow-up tweetin February, the tipster reported that Instagram was continuing to refine the feature by adding the ability to pin up to three posts on profiles.
Now, it seems like the Meta-owned social giant hasstarted rolling out the feature to select users in India,and possibly, other countries. As of writing this story, it is not available for me, unfortunately. However, we expect Instagram to reveal more details on this feature and roll it out to all users soon. So, stay tuned for further updates. Also, let us know in the comments if you have received this feature on your Android or iOS device.
