In a series of announcements on Thursday, Instagram confirmed that users will soon be able to rearrange the layout of posts on their profile grids, a long-requested feature that breaks with the app’s chronological display system. 

Alongside this, Instagram is also testing a new way for people to upload content silently, without pushing it into their followers’ feeds. These changes enable users to control how their content is seen and shared.

For the first time, users will be able to sort the visual narrative of their profile however they like. That means curated layouts, thematic rows, spotlight posts, the grid becomes a design board, not just a timeline. It’s a small change in mechanics but a big jump in intent. Until now, the only workaround was pinning posts.

Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, explained why they’re moving in this direction. “Creative expression can feel intimidating, especially when posting something to feed,” he said.

It’s that intimidation the company wants to soften with what’s being referred to internally as “quiet mode”, an option that lets users post to their profiles without broadcasting the update to their followers’ home feeds.

At face value, this might seem more useful to casual users. But the underlying message? Instagram is rethinking engagement. Quiet posting is not about being secretive, but freedom which extends to creators as well.

The company has also expanded access to “trial reels,” a feature that lets creators post videos that initially don’t show up to their followers but can still reach a wider, non-follower audience. 

According to Instagram, 40% of those who tried the feature began posting reels more often. Of that group, 80% reported higher reach among people who don’t follow them. Creators are starting to embrace experimentation without worrying about performance upfront.

Instagram also announced the launch of Drafts, a programme aimed at nurturing up-and-coming creatives. Unlike traditional creator funds, Drafts is about strategic support.

According to an Instagram spokesperson, “Drafts is not a dedicated creator fund,” and the goal is to “collaborate closely with creators to provide them with the type of support that best suits the needs of each of their unique creative projects.”

The initiative will offer emerging talent access to mentorship, collaboration, and exposure. Notable early partners include visual artists and creators like Sailorr, Tyrell Hampton, the Young Emperors, and Jake Fleming. For those of us watching the creator economy evolve, it’s a necessary move and talent isn’t just discovered but cultivated.

There’s also a lighter update, a new integration with Spotify that lets users share what they’re currently listening to via Instagram Notes. This tiny tweak opens another low-pressure, social connection point. Music, after all, speaks even when we don’t.

Instagram is also adding a touch of celebrity charm by introducing a handwriting-inspired font for Stories and Reels, created in partnership with Spanish singer Rosalía. It’s a nod to personalisation, but more importantly, a reminder that platforms must stay playful if they want to stay relevant.
