How to Pin Instagram Posts to Your Profile in 2022

Even though we have many photo & video sharing sites today, it was Instagram that we use the most. Instagram, compared to other platforms, provides more features and communication options. The platform also has a TikTok type feature called Reels that allows users to share shorter videos.

Instagram recently rolled out a new feature that will immensely benefit active users. The new feature allows users to pin up to three posts, including photos or videos, to the top of their profile grid.

The feature was already seen on other platforms like TikTok, Twitter, and WhatsApp. When you pin a post on Instagram, the post will remain at the top of the profile grid even if you share new posts in the future. So, if you want to pin your favorite or most liked posts on your Instagram profile, this is the feature you will need.

Steps to Pin Instagram Posts to Your Profile

The new feature has been rolled out to both Instagram for Android and iOS, and you can use it right now. Here’s how you can pin posts to your profile on Instagram for Android.
