Instagram’s new profile cards make it more fun to share your account

Instagram will now let you share your account using a digital profile card. The two-sided “card” displays a QR code with your Instagram handle, along with other information visible on your profile, including your picture and bio.

You can add some extra flavor to your profile card by adding your own links and a song of your choice. As shown in the image below, you can also change the background image of your profile card (which sort of makes it look like a digital business card for your Instagram account).

Aside from offering an easier way to share your account, the new profile card seems like a handy way to give someone an all-in-one look at your interests. Creators can also use profile cards to provide businesses or other collaborators with relevant links to their contact information.

You can view your profile card by heading to your Instagram profile and selecting “Share Profile.” From there, select the pencil icon in the top-right corner of the screen to edit the elements of your profile card. You can then use the options at the bottom of the screen to share your profile with friends or download it to post on other platforms. There’s also an “Add to Story” option that will create a rotating two-sided card you can customize.
