Instagram announced on Thursday that it will eventually allow users to rearrange their grid, and test a way for users to quietly post their profile without the content to appear in users’ foods. The social network also launches the ability to flow Spotify songs directly to your Instagram notes, along with a new initiative to support emerging creators.
Instagram says the ability to rearrange grids was one of its highest required features. With this update, users will be able to rearrange posts in their profile to set the appearance of their grid. To date, posts in your profile have appeared in chronological order, with a peak of a poster being the only way to hold older content at the top.
The idea behind the function is to give users a way to make their grid layout more aesthetically pleasing or highlighting certain content over others.
The announcement does not turn out as a surprise, as Instagram’s chief Adam Mosseri said in January that the company was Looking to roll the feature.
It is worth mentioning that Instagram was Seen by developing the function back in 2022, but finished a shelf the idea for some time. Quickly forward to 2025, and Instagram is now ready to launch the update soon.
About the ability to quietly post content without issuing it to the currents of your followers, Instagram says it is testing the feature now and plans to roll it wider soon.
Mosseri wrote in a blog that “a creative expression can feel intimidated, especially when you post something to feed”, which is why it introduces the new feature to facilitate users to share content without having all the eyes of it.
Of course, this feature will probably not be used by people who want many likes in their posts, such as creators and celebrities. It is more for people who are focused on building their profile without having the pressure to perform.
The feature is a bit like trial coilsInstagram function that allows creators to test new content by publishing videos that don’t seem to their followers. The company shared on Thursday that the function is somewhat similar to trial coilsInstagram function that allows creators to test new content by publishing videos that don’t seem to their followers. Instagram shared on Thursday that 40% of creators posted coils more often after trying trial coils, and that of those, 80% saw their reels reach more non-followers.
Mosseri says the purpose of both new creative features announced today is to give users “additional flexibility on how and where your content appears and helps you create and share without additional pressure.”
Spotify’s new integration allows users to share any song they listen in real time in the streaming service to their Instagram notes, leaving their followers to see and check out what music they are entering.
The company also announced that it is launching projects, an initiative that will invest in emerging talent. Through projects, Instagram will partner with creators to provide support that may include financial support, links, co-ID, collaborative opportunities and more.
Instagram spokesman told Techcrunch in an email that projects are not a dedicated created fund, and that Instagram “will work closely with creators to provide them with the kind of support that is best suited for the needs of each of their unique creative projects.”
