Instagram Lets Users Reorder Their Profile Grid

The mobile-only drag-and-drop tool rearranges display order without changing original post dates or engagement data.

Overview

  • Instagram began a global mobile rollout of the "Reorder Your Grid" feature on Monday, June 8, letting users move posts freely on their profile grids.
  • Users access the tool by long-pressing a post, tapping "Reorder grid," dragging posts to new positions and saving changes that take effect immediately.
  • Reordering only changes how posts appear on a profile; original posting dates, captions, likes and comments remain unchanged.
  • Pinned posts and Reels stay fixed at the top and appear greyed out in the reorder interface so they cannot be moved while pinned.
  • The feature follows about four years of signals and tests — a 2022 code discovery and a January 2025 announcement by Adam Mosseri — and aims to give creators and brands easier ways to curate their profiles.
