What are the Instagram Pronouns? Step-by-step tutorial on activating Pronouns
In this article, you will get to know the Instagram pronouns and we have also described how to activate them.
In 2021, Instagram introduced a new optional section for its users' profiles, which is called Pronouns. Before this, Facebook and LinkedIn had also provided this section to their users. But you may not be familiar with this small feature of Instagram, for this reason, in this article from Digiato, we will explain to you what Instagram pronouns are and how to activate Pronouns on Instagram.
What is Instagram pronoun?
When you enter the profile of one of the Instagram users, information such as the name, website address and biography of the account owner will be displayed. Sometimes in front of people's names, other information such as She/Her or He/Him is also displayed in a lighter color. This information is the same as the pronouns in Instagram.Using Pronouns in Instagram bio is completely optional, that's why you can see them in some profiles and others don't have them. In order to learn more about the place of pronoun display in the Instagram bio, we have mentioned two known accounts with Pronouns:
- "Emma Watson" who played the role of "Hermione Granger" in the Harry Potter movies has used the pronoun "she/her" in his Instagram bio.
- In front of the account name "Justin Trudeau", the Prime Minister of Canada, the pronoun he/him is also visible.
Therefore, in simple terms, the pronouns somehow show the gender and sexual interests of the profile owner. When you use these optional pronouns on your profile, you're letting others know how you like to be addressed.
