Instagram finally gives you more control over your photo grid, allowing you to showcase your favorite posts at the top. Instagram has started rolling out the option to pin posts to your profile. You can pin up to a total of three posts at the top of your profile, with the rest of the six spots reserved for your most recent posts. In this article, we have detailed the steps on how to pin photos, videos or reels to your Instagram profile.
How to pin posts on Instagram (2022) + 3 example use cases
1. Open the Instagram app and go to your profile. Here, select the post you want to pin to your profile and tap the vertical icon with three dots in the upper right corner. From the pop-up menu that appears, tap "Pin to your profile". Instagram will now pin the post to your profile, and anyone who visits your profile will see it first.
2. Pinned posts will have a visual pin icon in the upper right corner to indicate that you have pinned them. This pin is visible to you and anyone who visits your profile.
To unpost a post on Instagram using the Android app, open the post and tap the vertical three-dot icon again. Then select "Unlink from profile". If you remove all pinned posts, your feed will appear in reverse chronological order as it used to be before.
