How to Add Tagged Photos and Videos to Your Instagram Grid

Instagram is adding a feature that gives people more control over how their Instagram profiles look. Now users can choose to add posts where they are tagged directly to their profile grid. This means tagged photos and videos can appear on their profile just like posts they upload themselves. It gives people options to shape their profile the way they want.

This means that Instagram photos, Instagram videos and Instagram moments shared by Instagram accounts will appear next to Instagram posts.

Before posts, from users where you were tagged went to a separate "Tagged" tab on your profile. Now users can decide which tagged content should appear on the grid giving more flexibility to the profiles of creators, brands and individual users.

How to add posts to your Instagram profile grid.

Instagram provides methods to add an eligible tagged post to your Instagram profile grid. Here is a step-, by-step guide:

Method 1: Adding from a tag notification

Step 1: Open the direct message or notification informing you that you’ve been tagged in a post.

Step 2: Open the tagged post.

Step 3: Look for the option to add the post to your profile grid and select it.

Method 2: Adding from the post menu

Step 1: Open the post where you’ve been tagged.

Step 2: Tap the three-dot menu located in the corner of the post.

Step 3: Select the option to add the tagged post to your main profile grid.

Method 3: Adding from the tagged posts tab

Step 1: Open Instagram. Go to your profile.

Step 2: Tap the tagged posts tab to view posts where other users have tagged you.

Step 3: Press and hold the post you want to highlight.

Step 4: Select the option to add it to your main profile grid.

Where will the tagged post appear?

An important point to note is that posts that have tags are placed on the grid depending on when they were published. Adding a post with a tag to the grid will not make that post appear at the top of your profile.

This update is especially useful, for creators who wish to display brand collaborations, events or content posted by accounts. The update also allows individual users to showcase group photos, travel memories and special moments without having to upload the content again.

Can you remove a post that you have been tagged in from your grid?

Yes. Instagram has made this feature fully reversible. Removing a tagged post from your grid does not delete the post. Remove it from the tagged posts tab. The feature just decides if the post shows up on your profile or not.

With this update Instagram offers flexibility for profile customisation. Instagram lets tagged content coexist with posts so your feed stays clean and organized. Instagram keeps you in control of what appears on your grid ensuring that you decide what shows up.
