Instagram Rolls Out Customisable Profile Card Feature for Easy Sharing via QR Codes

Instagram
has
announced
a
new
feature
for
creators
that
makes
it
easier
and
more
fun
for
them
to
share
their
profiles
with
others.
They
can
now
create
a
two-sided
digital
card
on
the
Meta-owned
social
media
platform
which
matches
their
style
courtesy
of
multiple
customisable
options,
depending
on
their
preference.
Notably,
this
development
comes
after
Meta

introduced
a
song
on
profile
feature
that
lets
users
further
customise
their
profile
by
allowing
them
to
add
a
song
that
matches
their
current
mood
or
personality
on
their
profile.

Profile
Cards
on
Instagram

As
per

Instagram,
the
new
Profile
Card
gives
users
an
option
to
create
a
more
personalised
and
animated
digital
card
which
can
be
shared
with
others.
In
addition
to
the
QR
code
linking
the
profile,
it
also
includes
options
to
add
bio
information,
links
to
pages,
music
that
describes
the
personality
and
other
elements.
They
can
also
change
the
background
colour,
add
a
selfie
or
add
a
custom
emoji
as
the
page
background.

While
one
side
of
the
card
is
shareable,
the
other
side
has
a
QR
code,
which
can
be
scanned
by
others
to
visit
the
profile.
The
company
says
it
can
be
a
quick
way
for
creators
to
share
their
profiles
with
brands
for
easy
collaboration.
Although
the
ability
to
share
profile
cards
has
been
available
on
Instagram
for
a
few
years
now,
it
was
only
limited
to
just
QR
codes.
However,
users
can
now
share
their
interests
or
favourite
music.

To
share
the
profile
cards,
users
need
to
navigate
to
the
profile
section
of
Instagram
and
tap
on
the


Share
Profile
option.
They
can
further
tweak
the
profile
card
by
selecting
the
edit
icon
and
adding
the
desired
information.
In
addition
to
sharing
on
stories,
Instagram’s
profile
cards
can
also
be
shared
on
other
platforms.
