Instagram has expanded access to its Grid Preview feature. This allows users to preview how their posts will appear on their profile grid while editing photos or carousels via a Preview button. It's currently not available for Reels.
Why It Matters: Grid Preview offers a convenient way for creators and brands to assess how their latest uploads will fit within their existing content. With the emergence of Reels and the change in how users are discovering accounts and content, maintaining a consistent aesthetic across profiles has become less common, but this feature is beneficial for those who prioritize their aesthetic.
Instagram has been gradually introducing features that were previously only accessible through third-party apps, like link-in-bio-tools and content scheduling. While Instagram's offerings may have limited functionalities compared to dedicated third-party tools, they provide free alternative solutions for users who prefer simpler or free versions.
