YO GIANTS YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS because Instagram FINALLY gave us the feature we asked for and it took them a YEAR to do it after promising! For ages your grid was locked in chronological order with only three pins at the top — which made any carefully curated aesthetic impossible once they switched from square thumbnails to vertical ones. Mosseri apologized about that move in January of last year (his post said "I cannot apologize enough") and today he just tweeted one word: "Finally." That's a massive nod that he knows there are more things users want them to fix, because even with this the grid is still not quite right for everyone.
But here’s what you can do now on Android AND iPhone apps — long-press any post and drag it wherever in your profile grid. No age limit, no chronological locks; move old posts up, newer ones down, rearrange whatever for free! The three pinned posts stay locked at the top so your highlights stay visible while everything else becomes fully rearrangeable. It’s a huge win for creators who want their profiles to make sense instead of being forced into a feed order they didn't choose. One less thing that makes Instagram infuriating, which is already something I thought I wouldn't get this year!
