Twitter Like Feature Coming To Instagram: You Can Now Pin Posts In Instagram
Instagram is currently testing a new feature that allows users to pin posts to their accounts. Similar to pinned notes at the top of your Google Keep the main screen, these posts will let profile visitors learn more about you by highlighting selected essential posts. According to a recent report from TechCrunch, the functionality is presently only available to a limited number of customers as part of the testing process. These users may pin posts to the top of their profiles in the same way they can pin tweets or videos on Twitter or TikTok. However, the function has been in the works for some months.
Those who have access to the option will see a “Pin to your profile” option on an Instagram post’s three-dot menu. “We’re developing a new feature that allows individuals to highlight posts on their profile,” a Meta official reportedly told the magazine.
Pinned Instagram posts would allow artists and other professionals to display some of their most significant work at the top of their accounts, rather than having users navigate through many posts to find what they’re searching for. This will also assist your Instagram feed in becoming more of a “portfolio” for artists to showcase their finest and most relevant work.
It is possible that you will not see this feature in action on your Instagram profile for some time. The feature is presently under testing and will not be available until the app’s stable version is released. In addition, Instagram often releases new features to specific nations and areas before others, which may mean users would have to wait longer. More information on when the pin post feature will be available has yet to be released.
