Instagram is testing new profile cards with selected creators, offering a fresh way to showcase your profile and content.
These digital cards are flippable, featuring a QR code on one side for quick connections and a profile overview on the other, including your image, bio, category, and business links. This update aims to simplify the process of getting more followers with just a scan and follow.
Despite QR codes being available on Instagram since 2018, they’ve seen limited use, possibly due to changes in format and placement within the app.
Now, with Instagram also adding QR codes for Broadcast Channels, the platform is giving QR codes another push.
While these profile cards may not be groundbreaking, they offer a sleek new way to highlight your Instagram presence. It might be worth considering physical versions, similar to what Instagram did with Threads, though that could be costly.
For now, digital profile cards are your new tool on IG.
