Instagram introduces profile cards: What are they and how to use them

Instagram is rolling out a new feature designed to make connecting and sharing easier for its users. Profile cards , now available on the platform, provide a convenient way to share your Instagram profile with friends and followers.

With profile cards, you can quickly generate a shareable link to your profile. This link can be easily shared via messages, emails, or on other platforms. When someone clicks on the link, they'll be taken directly to your Instagram profile, making it simple for them to follow you or view your content.

“The two-sided profile card is designed to make it easier to share your IG, without needing to send your @, and it will include an easily shareable “card” with your bio from your IG Profile, your prof pic, links, music, QR code and you can even customise the background with an image of your choice,” said the company.

Ways to use Instagram Profile Cards

• Stay in touch or catch up: Use it to stay in touch with a friend, make new connections or simply find people who get you.
  
• Express your creativity: Get creative with your profile card by changing up your bio, song choice, profile photo and the background of your card
  
• Creative Collabs: Share it with potential collaborators or brands, showcasing your bio and contact links in one sleek digital package.
  

By making it easier to share your profile, Instagram is encouraging more engagement and interaction within its community.
