Instagram Profile Embed will allow people to get a sneak peek at a particular Instagram handle directly from a website. However, it bears mentioning that the new feature is only available in the US for now. This will particularly be useful for Instagram Creators, Brands, and Businesses to highlight their Instagram Profiles on third-party websites.
The feature is expected to launch globally very soon, however, the company has not shared any official word regarding the matter.
In the video, Adam Mosseri also talks about two other newly introduced features, including the Instagram Playback Feature that allows users to replay a curated selection of their top Stories throughout the year. The feature also offers a recap of the 10 favorite Stories posted by the user during 2021.
Meanwhile, the Reels Visual Replies is another great feature introduced by the platform that lets users respond to comments with a Reels Video of up to 60 seconds. The feature will help Instagram Creators engage with their followers in a much better way and help grow on the platform.
