Instagram is receiving an unique option which enables individuals to post a mini-version on their profile on their websites. Users may now embed their Social posts on following websites or refer to somebody else's account using the new Profile Embed feature. Along with the Profile Embed, Instagram has emphasised the recently announced Playback tool for Instagram and Reel Graphical Responses. Users may create an end-of-year compilation of up to 10 Stories to share with their followers using the Playback tool. The Reels Visual Replies feature allows you to react to a comment with a 60-second Reels video.

In a video posted to Twitter on Friday, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri announced the launch of the Profile Embed feature. 'For many years, you've been able to embed an Instagram photo or video onto a website. This builds on that concept by allowing you to embed a mini-version of your Instagram profile on a website,' Mosseri explained. People will be able to get a preview of the Instagram handle using Profile Embed. For the time being, the updated functionality is only available in the United States. It will enable Instagram artists, companies, and enterprises to promote their accounts on following websites. The business hasn't revealed any information on the Profile Embed feature's global launch. 

Mosseri also discusses two other new features released by the photo-sharing site earlier this week in the video. As previously noted, Instagram Playback allows you to relive a selected selection of your Stories from the previous year. The feature provides a summary of the user's top ten Stories from 2021. Another feature is Reels Visual Replies, which allows you to react to a comment with a Reels movie of up to 60 seconds. Mosseri advised Instagram producers to use the tool to communicate with their followers and grow their numbers. While replying to a remark, you'll see the Visual Replies option. You may choose it to make a video reply with the comment appearing as a sticker.
