Today, instagram announced that it will allow users to set up “profile cards,” a new way to help both standard users and creators “make new friends on instagram.” Profile cards will be two-sided and can include objects such as your profile pictures, links to your sites, music, or a QR code for others to scan. The background of the card can also be an image you like.
These profile cards are designed to help users share profiles without having to type their usernames. Of course, they can also be a means of creativity, as a unique card can attract the attention of people with similar interests. Creators can also share them with brands or other creators, offering to collaborate.
This change follows the update released at the end of August, which allows users to access their profiles. Best of all, users around the world can start creating profile cards right now.
