Now you can add to your main Instagram Feed any posts in which you have been tagged

Gone are the days when posts your friends tagged you in were pushed into the background. Instagram’s latest update now lets you add posts other people have tagged you in to your main Feed grid, so you can give them more visibility if you want to.

How to add a post you have been tagged in to your main Feed

Adam Mosseri, CEO of Instagram, announced this new feature in a video posted on his Instagram account. The goal of this simple update is to give users greater control over what appears on their profile by allowing them to add photos and videos their friends have tagged them in. In this way, it also reinforces the platform’s collaborative spirit, which is already reflected in other features such as Collabs and Blend.

To display posts you have just been tagged in on your Feed, simply follow these easy steps:

1. Open the notification in Direct Messages.
2. Select the “Add to your grid” option that appears below the post notification.
3. Within seconds, it will appear in your main Feed.

If you want to add to your main grid a post you were tagged in some time ago, here is what you need to do:

1. Go to the tagged tab in your Feed.
2. Open the post you want to add and click the two-line icon located in the upper-right corner.
3. Select the “Add to main grid” option.
4. Within seconds, it will appear in your main Feed.

Meanwhile, the owner of the post will receive a notification letting them know that you have added the post to your main Feed.

It is also important to note that, by default, the photo or video will appear in your main Feed according to its original publishing order. But do not worry, remember you also can reorder your Feed grid so you can organize your posts however you like, without being tied to the calendar.
