Now, you can redesign your Instagram profile without deleting a thing!

Instagram has finally rolled out the awaited grid customisation features that let users rearrange the layout of their profile without deleting and reposting content. Previously, Instagram posts appeared in chronological order as user posts, with the newest posts shown first. Now, Instagram will let users move the posts around on their profile grid, irrespective of when the posts were originally published.

Previously, Instagram head Adam Mosseri teased this feature nearly a year ago. This feature will make it easier for people to create a specific aesthetic, highlight important posts, or organise their profiles the way they want.
