Instagram has introduced one of its most requested features, giving users the ability to rearrange posts on their profile grid.
The update, which started rolling out globally on June 9, 2026, allows users to customize how their profile looks without deleting and reposting content.
For years, creators, businesses, and regular users have been asking for this feature, and Instagram has finally delivered.
The best part? Everything can be done directly within the app.
What Has Changed?
Until now, Instagram profiles followed a simple rule: the newest posts appeared at the top, while older posts moved down the grid over time.
This meant users had no control over the order of posts on their profile.
The only way to change the layout was to delete a post and upload it again, which often resulted in losing visibility and disrupting the profile’s overall look.
With the new “Reorder Grid” feature, users can now manually rearrange posts and decide exactly what visitors see first when they open their profile.
How to Rearrange Your Instagram Grid
Using the feature is simple and takes only a few seconds.
Follow these steps:
Open your Instagram profile.
Tap and hold any post on your profile grid.
Select “Reorder Grid” from the menu.
Drag posts to your preferred position.
Release them to save the new layout.
The changes are applied instantly and become visible to anyone who visits your profile.
What Stays the Same?
Many users may worry that moving posts could affect their performance or history. Fortunately, that’s not the case.
Instagram has confirmed that:
Original posting dates remain unchanged.
Captions stay exactly the same.
Photos and videos are not modified.
Likes, comments, and engagement history remain intact.
Only the visual position of posts on your profile grid changes.
Who Will Benefit Most?
This feature is especially useful for creators, influencers, brands, and small business owners who rely on Instagram to showcase their work.
Users can now:
Highlight their best-performing posts.
Showcase important announcements.
Create a cleaner and more attractive profile layout.
Improve the first impression for new visitors.
Better reflect their personal or brand identity.
For businesses, this means placing top products, promotions, or customer favorites at the front of the profile.
For creators, it offers more freedom to build a visually appealing portfolio.
Don’t See the Feature Yet?
Instagram is rolling out the update gradually across the world.
If the option isn’t available on your account yet, make sure your Instagram app is updated to the latest version.
The feature should appear in the coming days as the rollout expands to more users.
After years of requests, Instagram users finally have control over how their profile grid looks.
Whether you’re a creator, business owner, or casual user, the new feature makes it easier than ever to design a profile that truly represents you.
