Instagram continues to expand its platform, introducing new features aimed at enhancing user engagement. Recently, the platform added support for a 3:2 aspect ratio, aligning with the native format of most phone cameras. This update reduces the need for cropping images to fit preset dimensions, allowing users to showcase their photos more effectively.

Now, Instagram is hinting at another exciting feature that will enable users to rearrange their profile grids. The “edit grid” feature, which was initially discovered by app reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi back in 2022, is finally set to be rolled out. Although Instagram has not provided a specific launch date, they have teased its arrival, creating considerable anticipation among users.

Once available, the “edit grid” button will allow users to customize the order of their posts on their profiles, enabling a more personalized display of their content. In addition to the grid rearrangement, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri announced that the platform is exploring a method for posting without directly sharing content to followers’ feeds. This feature aims to alleviate the stress of frequent posting by providing a space for users to share more freely.

Like the grid feature, there is currently no confirmed rollout date for this update. Moreover, Instagram is introducing a new option called “trial reels,” which allows users to post Reels without showcasing them to their followers’ feeds. Instead, these Reels will be suggested to non-followers, providing creators with an opportunity to experiment with different types of content without the pressure of their existing audience’s expectations.

Mosseri emphasizes that this feature offers creators greater freedom to express themselves creatively in a low-pressure environment.
