IF I WORKED AT INSTAGRAM
Profile Styling
your photos just got better
💁🏼♀️ "IF I WORKED AT" SERIES
This post is a part of a series where I use my passion for Product Design to shamelessly make improvements to the applications and websites of company’s I want to work for.
HIRE ME, HERE’S WHY!
Hello WorlD:
Today Instagram announced their new Profile Styling feature!
Want to see the prototype? — 🔗Here’s the link!
Before Profile Styling
Instagram users were hacking how they styled their profile by:
👈Post multiple parts of 1 photo
This gives the appearance of having one large photo on the your profile, but also means you may have to post 9 photos. like this profile.
ADding borders to posts
This gives the appearance of all your photos being separated by a border.
Instagram’s new Profile Styling gives you the ability to do both with just one tap.
new UX
BIO & Photos TabS
The Edit Profile screen now has two tabs
The Bio Tab
This is where you can edit all of the information found in your bio.
Photos Tab
This is where you can change the style of the photos on your profile.
Pick your Photo Style
There are three photo styles you can choose from — Square, Border, and Mason.
Square
This has been the classic Instagram photo style where all your photos are side by side without a border.
Border
This photo style adds a white border around your photos.
Mason
This photo style varies the sizes of your photos.
✨ Ta- Da!
You can now style all the photos on your profile with just a few taps.
🔮 What if in the future…
You had control over the size of the border width?
You could control the photo size of individual photos?
You could have multiple styles at the same time?

That’s because I made it up!
