A pinned post allows you to select one to three existing posts from your Instagram feed and pin, or hold them, at the very top of your feed. They will remain featured at the top of your profile even though they are not your most recent posts. Think of it in the same way as “pinning” a photo to a particular place on a bulletin board. Instagram users are able to pin many types of content; photos, carousel posts, videos, and Reels. Pinning posts is valuable to creators because it allows you to have control over the first content a user will see when viewing your profile. When selected strategically, these pinned posts can be very helpful for actors to make their personal brands, talents, and personalities clear.
Scroll through your Instagram feed to find the post you would like to pin to the top of your profile.
While you are only allowed to have a maximum of 3 pinned posts at a time per Instagram account, you can change them whenever you want. To change a pinned post on Instagram, you must first un-pin an existing one. Follow the same steps above to press and hold on the pinned post you’d like to remove. The menu will reappear and you can click the second option to “Unpin from Profile”. Then you’d just go through the same four steps as listed above to select and pin your new post.
