Instagram now lets you add posts you’re tagged in to your profile grid

Starting September 11, Instagram began allowing users to display photos and other posts they are tagged in on their main profile grid. The Tagged section, where all such content is collected, remains unchanged. The new feature is designed to highlight group photos, memories, and collaborations between content creators on a profile. It reduces the need to repost the same content in brand campaigns or use the Invite collaborators option.

There are 3 ways to add a tagged post to a profile. Users can do so from the direct-message notification about the tag, from the 3-dot menu in the upper-right corner of the post, or from the Tagged section. With the last method, users need to press and hold the post and select Add to grid. The feature works with both photos and other posts in which the user has been tagged.

Although the post is added to the main grid, it remains on the original content owner’s account, and no copy is created. Users can remove the post from their profile at any time, but doing so does not remove the content from the Tagged section. Who can see the post depends on the privacy settings of both the profile owner and the account that tagged them.

Tagged posts displayed on a profile are arranged from newest to oldest by default. However, users can change their position on the main grid as they wish. With the Reorder your grid feature launched in June, Instagram made it possible to rearrange content on a profile regardless of its publication date. The feature had been announced 1 year earlier.

Instagram has also added other tools to make managing profiles and posts easier. First Draft automatically trims selected video clips, removes pauses, and creates an initial edit from the best moments. Replace Audio allows users to change the music in a previously published post. The new tagging feature gives users more freedom to choose what they display on their profiles.
