New feature on "Instagram".. more control over what appears on your page

Instagram has launched a new feature that allows users to add posts they are tagged in to their main profile grid, alongside their own posts. The feature aims to give users greater control over the content displayed on their pages, targeting group photos, collaborative posts, and memories. The rollout began on September 10, 2026, offering three ways to add posts: via direct message notification, through the post's options menu, or from the tagged posts tab. Posts are not added automatically; users choose what to highlight.

Instagram has launched a new feature that gives users greater control over the content displayed on their personal pages, allowing them to add posts they are tagged in to the main profile grid, alongside posts they have published themselves. The platform began rolling out the feature on September 10, 2026, noting that it specifically targets group photos, collaborative posts, and memories in which the user appears. Previously, posts where the user is tagged appeared in a separate tab dedicated to tagged posts, but the new update allows selecting some of them and adding them to the main profile grid. This does not mean moving the post or creating a new copy; the original content remains on the account of its owner, while remaining linked to its original account. Users can add the tagged post in three ways: via a direct message notification, by opening the post and pressing the options menu, or from the tab of posts where the user is tagged. Posts are not added automatically; the user themselves chooses the content they wish to highlight. The feature's importance is evident in group photos, events, and trips, and it benefits content creators involved in producing collaborative posts. The feature is part of a broader trend by Instagram to give users more control over organizing their pages.
