New Delhi: Instagram has introduced a new feature that will allow users to add up to four pronouns to their profiles. It will appear next to one’s Instagram username.
Sharing a glimpse of the feature on Twitter, Vice President of Product at Instagram, Vishal Shah tweeted, “Now you can add pronouns to your profile with a new field. It’s another way to express yourself on Instagram, and we’ve seen a lot of people adding pronouns already, so hopefully, this makes it even easier. Available in a few countries today with plans for more.”
Though Instagram has not yet confirmed the exact regions where the feature has been made available, the social media platform has said that the new feature is already available in a “few countries,”. When the feature is available in your region, you will be able to see a new ‘Pronoun’s tab under the ‘Edit Profile’ section. You can then type out the pronouns you want and Instagram will suggest pronouns from the list of options available. Instagram also allows you to choose up to four pronouns that will appear on your profile. Just below this, there is an option that will allow you to show your pronouns only to your followers. You can toggle on the option if you want.
The new feature will allow users to choose to add pronouns straight to their profiles instead of having to make them part of their bios. Other social media platforms have also implemented a similar feature to allow users to add pronouns to their profiles.
