Instagram: How To Put Reels Back to Your Profile Grid after Removing or Posting?

Instagram reels are short videos that give you many possibilities and ways to interact with other people. This is what you scroll through whenever you see someone’s profile and the videos start from recent to the older ones. Reels give you the chance to go viral since they are displayed on Reels pages, and a good thing is that you can record them and edit them by adding certain features. But, we sometimes remove them from our profile grid accidentally, and learning how to put the reel back on the profile grid can be quite stressful. This article will address this issue and you will be able to keep them permanently on your profile!

Things You Should Know

We automatically add reels to our profile and as soon as the upload in completed they appear in the profile grid. However, with the ‘Also share to feed option’ disabled, you reels might not appear there, and if you want to remove one or more videos from your grid there is also a ‘Remove From Profile Grid Option’. Many people forget to share reels to feed or accidentally remove them and new visitors cannot see them when scrolling through the profile. Thanks to Add to Profile Grid feature, this issue can also be solved quickly.

How To Add Reels Back to Your Profile Grid after Removing?

We all like to keep our Instagram organized and sorting out reels is also an important part. Has it ever happened to you to somehow remove an Instagram Reel from your profile grid and now you have no idea what to do? Sometimes we do this because our published posts don’t look attractive anymore. We have the impression that they don’t match our feed aesthetically, or simply we posted something and don’t want other people to look at it anymore. Sometimes, we are hesitant about our wish to delete a post. There are actually two methods to get rid of your post.

Instagram didn’t have this option after introducing Reels, which created stressful situations and forced users to search for other apps to do this. Today, Instagram has the ‘Remove from Profile Grid’ option and users can hide reels from their feed. This feature can remove the particular reel from your profile but keeps a video visible under other reels. Many people have questions about this matter. The best thing is to plan well all your Instagram reels using the Preview App. With this app, it will be less likely to forget to click on the ‘Add to Profile’ button because it will post reels on the traditional grid, but if you delete them from here, then Reels will be deleted as well.

The latest versions of Instagram have features that we were always looking for and it saves us a lot of time and workload necessary to do this action. These features attracted even more users since they are well aware of the fact that people often go back to their reels and the importance of curating the content they share on their profiles.

This article will show you how to add reels to your profile grid after removing so let’s dig into learning more about this now!
