Instagram Moves Stories Highlights to Their Own Tab

18 Nov 2024

Get ready for another change to your IG profile display, with Instagram now preparing to move your Story highlights bubbles from above the profile grid, and into their own section within your profile tabs.

As you can see in this notification, shared by social media expert Lindsey Gamble, Instagram is now in the process of informing users that their Story highlights will be moving into a dedicated profile tab later this week, while they’ll also show in your main grid. Though where exactly they’ll be displayed in the main grid is not clear as yet (i.e. will they appear in the feed based on the date of the first or last update to the Highlight collection, or some other qualifier?).

The update has been in testing for some time.

Back in August app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi shared an example of the new profile grid display, with a dedicated Story Highlights tab.
