Instagram now allows users to move tagged posts directly to their main profile grid. The feature gives users more control over which photos appear on their public profiles.

Users can now select photos from their Tagged tab—posts where others have mentioned them—and add them to their primary profile feed. This moves beyond Instagram's previous model where tagged photos remained separate from curated profile content. The update addresses a long-standing limitation: users previously had no way to promote tagged content to their main grid without manually reposting. Now they can cherry-pick tagged photos that align with their desired profile presentation. To use the feature, users navigate to their Tagged tab, select the desired photo, and choose the option to add it to their profile grid. The photo appears in chronological order alongside other grid posts. The change reflects Instagram's broader shift toward giving users more granular control over their digital presence. It's particularly useful for photographers, influencers, and brands who want to showcase customer or collaborator-tagged content without reposting manually.
