Instagram is finally giving users the ability to reorder posts on their grid, allowing you to set the grid design and aesthetic just the way you want it. This comes almost a year after the Meta-owned platform’s head, Adam Mosseri, announced that it was coming. We’re already seeing this option on our side, both on Android and iOS.
Instagram finally allows you to reorder posts on your grid
According to USA Today, you will be able to move posts around regardless of when you made them. The ability is rolling out across the globe. This has been a long-requested feature from users, so much so that even Meta acknowledged that it was. “We know this is long overdue, but we wanted to take the time to get it right,” Meta told the publication.
Alessandro Paluzzi, known for reverse engineering apps and finding unannounced tools, had discovered the “edit grid” option in the Instagram app way back in 2022. This signals that the company has been planning to introduce it way before Mosseri announced it last year.
Pinned posts will remain at the top
To rearrange Instagram posts on your profile, long-press any post, which will surface a pop-up menu with “Reorder grid.” Tapping it takes you to another window, where you can drag posts to rearrange them in any order you like. It’s worth noting that pinned posts will remain at the top of the profile. It will be blacked out in the “Reorder grid” window.
The new Rearrange Grid feature is only available on the Instagram mobile app on smartphones and tablets. If you don’t see it yet, check that your Instagram app is up to date. There’s no limit on how many times users can rearrange their profile grids. So go ahead, get creative with your profile grid designs.
