Instagram is testing a new option that would enable users to re-arrange their profile photo grid

With the new feature, users will be able to change the order of the images in their profiles. The profile flow, which has continued chronologically until now, will have a much more flexible structure.The new feature allows the posts shared on the Instagram account to be sorted by users. The feature that will appear in the profile settings shows that the necessity of chronological flow will disappear.

 

The capacity to entirely re-arrange the order of your posts takes this even further, and it’ll be interesting to see whether Instagram actually does decide to go ahead with it or not.

Instagram seems continuously willing to experiment with its main feed and profile options, which in some ways aligns with user requests, while it may also relate to people using their main feed less than ever, with video posts - specifically Reels - now driving the majority of Instagram engagement growth.

 

Instagram seems more willing to try out different ideas, as it gradually transitions to entirely new focus displays by re-arranging profile photo grid. It does seem likely that Instagram will try things that could make it easier to showcase your best posts out in the coming months.
