Instagram has made it easier for users to share their profiles. The app rolls out profile cards, which basically become digital business cards for your account.
Each card displays the user's username, profile photo, and bio, along with an optional song. The card has a second side that contains a QR code on the back selected by the user. Fellow Instagram users can scan the code to be directed to their profile.
Users can customize the information on their cards by going to their profile and clicking on the “Share Profile” text. There is also a video highlighting the downloadable card, so users can promote their Instagram profile on other social platforms.
Instagram has offered QR codes for sharing profiles for over five years, but this new feature adds more information and context for those being added.
