Instagram is testing a feature that will let users pin posts to their profiles

Instagram introduced the chronological feed back last month. The social network has now added another feature to its platform: users can pin posts to their profiles.

Currently, users can pin a story, which can feature a post, but pinning posts directly wasn’t possible. That might change soon as a Meta representative wrote to TechCrunch: “We’re testing a new feature that lets people feature posts on their profile”.

Work on this has been ongoing for a while now, Alessandro Paluzzi dug into the Instagram app and found the option back in January:

The Pin option has been made available to some users. Not all, as the new feature is still in the testing phase. It will be possible to continue sharing new content and promote old posts if/when it is made available to everyone.
