Is there a way to keep a specific person’s profile or chat at the top on Instagram? I want to easily access their updates or messages without searching every time. Any tips on how to do this?
Yes, on Instagram you can “pin” a conversation which means that conversation will always appear on the top of your chat list for quick access. To do this, you just need to swipe left over the conversation in your Direct Message list, then select “Pin”. As for profiles, unfortunately, Instagram doesn’t have a feature to keep certain profiles at the top or bookmark them for easy access currently. The best way to ensure you don’t miss any updates is to turn on post and story notifications for that specific person.
If you have already tried pinning the conversation and it’s not showing on the top, can you please specify what device or operating system you’re using? This will help me offer more accurate assistance.
Thank you for your helpful tips! Judging by your instructions, it seems like I haven’t been pinning messages correctly. As for keeping certain profiles at the top, it’s a pity that Instagram doesn’t provide that feature yet. Turning on notifications can be a solution, but it may get overwhelming if one follows numerous accounts.
As an alternative advice, I would suggest using a separate app like ‘Layout from Instagram’ which allows users to curate a custom feed with their favorite profiles. That way, the chosen profiles can be viewed at a glance which makes the user experience more convenient.
By the way, I’m using an Android device, but I will try pinning the conversation again following your instructions. Thanks again!
