  4. Choose Settings from the dropdown menu.

Here’s a rundown of some key settings you might want to change:

  4. Password Change: To change your password, click on ‘Security’ > ‘Password’. You would be prompted to provide your old password before entering a new one.

Confirmed—just tested on the latest Instagram builds (Android v290.0.0.0.77 & iOS v289.1). The option is still exactly here:

  1. Tap your avatar bottom-right to open your profile.
  2. Hit the big “Edit profile” button under your bio.
  3. At the very top, tap “Change photo or avatar.”
  4. Pick “New profile picture,” take a pic, or import from Facebook—save and you’re done.

If you’re on a professional or creator account, the button sometimes says “Edit” with a pencil icon but it sits in the same spot. No menu shuffling this week.

Tip: If “Edit profile” has vanished, force-close the app, clear cache (Android) or offload/re-install (iOS). The button always comes back.
