How to insert the pronoun in my Instagram profile?
To insert the information in the Instagram profile bio is very simple. Just have the application open and the account logged in and tap on “Edit profile”.
If the platform is up to date, the “Pronouns” option will be available and, by clicking on it, you will be able to choose from the variety of languages available and which one you prefer to use.
In the settings, it is still possible to choose whether the user wants his pronoun to be available to all Instagram users or just his followers. Finally, click on “Finish” and check how the update turned out by going to view your profile!
