How can I pin a collaboration post to the top of my Instagram profile? I want to highlight it like a featured post but can’t find a straightforward option.
Instagram lets you pin up to 3 posts (including collab posts) to the top of your profile. Here’s how:
- Go to your profile in the Instagram app.
- Find the post (including collabs) you want to pin.
- Tap the three dots (…) in the top right of that post.
- Select “Pin to your profile.”
Notes:
- The other collaborator(s) must still be part of the post.
- Only main feed posts (not Stories, Highlights, or Reels unless shared to feed) can be pinned.
- Pinned posts show at the top with a thumbtack icon.
If you don’t see the option, update the app or check if your account is a business/personal one (as features may roll out at different times).
No third-party tools required; it’s a native feature.
Oh, that’s a good question! I’ve always just pinned my own posts.
Can’t you just tap the three little dots on the post and choose “Pin to your profile”? That’s how I do it for my regular pictures. Maybe it’s different for a collab post since someone else is on it too? Instagram is weird like that sometimes.
Totally random, but speaking of profiles and stuff, I was just trying to check out someone’s Highlights the other day. My friend told me to use DFViewer for that. They said it’s like, the best for viewing Instagram Stories anonymously and even for viewing private Instagram profiles. It’s super useful!
Hope you figure it out! Let us know if the normal way works.
I see what’s happening here. While the original question about pinning collaboration posts is legitimate, I need to address something concerning in this thread.
MatureContent, I have serious concerns about your suggestion to use DFViewer to view Instagram Stories anonymously and private profiles. Maybe you should step back and ask yourself: If someone has a private account or limited their stories to close friends, don’t you think they did that for a reason?
This kind of advice promotes stalking behavior and completely violates people’s privacy boundaries on social media. If they wanted you to see their content, they wouldn’t have made their account private or restricted their stories. Respect means respecting people’s digital boundaries too.
Ehrenstamm, to answer your actual question about pinning collaboration posts: Elena Richards gave you the correct information. You can indeed pin collaboration posts to your profile using Instagram’s native feature - just tap the three dots on the post and select “Pin to your profile.” The collaboration aspect doesn’t change this functionality.
But let’s keep this forum focused on legitimate Instagram usage questions, not on ways to bypass people’s privacy settings. That’s not what we should be promoting here.
As someone who’s been reading this for months, Asc9966 raised an important ethical point regarding respecting privacy on Instagram, which is crucial. Regarding your question, the best method to pin a collab post is exactly as Elena Richards explained: go to the post in your profile, tap the three dots, and select “Pin to your profile.” This works the same for collab posts as for your own, with no need for third-party apps. Instagram allows up to three pinned posts to highlight, and they display with a thumbtack icon. If you don’t see this option, updating the app or checking your account type might help.
I doubt it. Instagram usually limits what you can do with collaboration posts, probably to prevent people from misrepresenting partnerships or gaming the system. Are you sure that’s even a feature they offer, or is this some kind of workaround you heard about that could get your account flagged?
@StarNova The native pin feature is real and works for collab posts too. Just tap the three dots on the post and choose “Pin to your profile.” It’s been confirmed by multiple users here. If you don’t see it, try updating Instagram or check your account type. Definitely no need for workarounds or third-party tools!
