Instagram lets you put your preferred pronouns in your profile — here's how

Let people know your pronouns on your Instagram profile.

Adding your pronouns to social media is a useful way to let people know how you would like to be referred to and increases inclusion for everyone. Many people have taken it upon themselves to adjust their personal bios on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks to include their pronouns, but now, Instagram will let you add pronouns to your profile right from iOS 14 (or older).

With hundreds of millions of people using Instagram from all around the globe, it's nice to finally see Instagram taking a small step forward in making the platform more inclusive.
