Key points
- Users can now add tagged photos to their main profile grid.
- The 'Tagged' tab still exists for all tagged posts.

New Profile Grid Feature
Instagram has rolled out a new feature that allows users to add photos they have been tagged in directly to their main profile grid. Previously, all tagged photos were exclusively housed in a separate 'Tagged' tab. This change provides users with greater flexibility in curating their public profile appearance.
How to Add Tagged Photos
Users can add tagged posts to their grid through several methods. Options include selecting the feature directly from a DM notification when tagged, accessing it via the three-dot menu on a tagged post, or by long-pressing a post within the 'Tagged' tab. A privacy notice will appear, clarifying that visibility depends on the privacy settings of both the user's account and the tagging account.
Managing Displayed Posts
Once added, tagged posts appear on the main grid in reverse-chronological order by default. However, users retain the ability to rearrange these posts to suit their preferences. This reordering functionality was introduced by Instagram in June, allowing users to customize their profile's aesthetic regardless of when the posts were originally made.
Updates
- Users can remove tagged posts from their profile grid at any time.
