Instagram is rolling out a small but useful new feature that gives users a little more control over what appears on their profiles. Starting today, you can add posts you’re tagged in directly to your main profile grid.
While it’s not exactly a groundbreaking update, it’s one of those changes that a lot of people will probably find useful. Most of us have experienced coming home from a party, concert, vacation, or night out with friends and going through the shared album, only to realize one of them has already beaten everyone to the punch and posted one of the best group photos, tagging you in the process.
While you could post the same photo yourself, that feels a little awkward. So, now, Instagram has a new solution.
You can add a tagged post to your grid from the DM notification you receive when you’re tagged, directly from the post itself, or through your Tagged tab. If you change your mind later, you can easily remove the post from your profile.
The original post stays exactly where it is. Adding it to your grid doesn’t delete or duplicate the original post, and you can remove it from your profile at any time without removing it from your Tagged tab.
