Instagram Pronouns Features, Uses and How to Use
Finally, the pronouns feature is also released in Indonesia. Previously it was only released in some countries, but now it can be used by Instagram users around the world.
This Pronouns feature was first announced by Instagram via a tweet on its personal account on Twitter on May 11. The tweet contains a notification that the pronouns feature will soon be released in several countries around the world, “Add up to 4 pronouns and edit or delete at any time.
You can also choose to show pronouns only to people who follow you.” Accompanied by a photo of the shape of the pronouns feature.
What is Instagram’s Pronouns Feature?
Pronouns are a feature that will make it easier for other users to find out what the actual gender identity of the account owner is. He can also be shaped as a pronoun in addition to using a name.
There are 4 pronouns provided, namely She/Her for women and He/Him for men.
This feature can only be used by users aged 18 years and over. If you are not yet 18, this feature will not appear on our IG profile.
How to Use the Pronouns Feature on Instagram
This feature is in the same menu when we change the profile photo, username and bio. It’s not difficult to set it up, here are the steps to activate the pronouns feature.
- Open the Instagram app, go to your account section
- Click the ‘Edit Profile’ menu
- Several setting options will appear, one of which is the ‘Pronouns’ setting.
- Choose the pronouns you want (She, Her, Him or He)
- You can use several pronouns at once
- Click ‘Done’ when finished
Here, you can also set the privacy of who can see your pronouns. Click the ‘Show to Followers Only’ option, if you want only our followers to be able to see our gender identity or pronouns other than names.
How to Overcome the Pronouns Feature Not Appearing on Our Instagram
This feature is in the edit profile section. It is located under the username name settings. One place to edit profile photo, username, bio, and account settings.
If there you still don’t find the pronouns feature, then there are 2 reasons:
First, You haven’t updated your Instagram account to the latest version.
How to solve this problem, you simply go to Google PlayStore, then update your application there.
Second, You’re not old enough. The requirement is a minimum age of 18 years. Calculation of age is not based on the identity on the ID card, but the identity of the account. Even if you use a fake birth year ID on Instagram, and you’re actually over 18 years old, this feature still doesn’t work.
How to handle it? You can change your birth year or wait until you turn 18.
What is the Importance of Using the Pronouns Feature?
The end is drawing near. In this day and age many men resemble women, and women resemble men. Some followers are confused about the identity of today’s humans.
In addition, for users who are mistaken for men when they are women and vice versa, there is a special heartache to be called that. For that, this feature will help clarify their identity.
The goal is for account owners to have more respect for their identities. So that followers know, “I’m a boy!” Or “I’m a girl!”
For foreign countries, this feature is very helpful for them. Either this feature will be useful in Indonesia or not. What is clear, the Pronouns feature has been released worldwide. Do you want to wear it or not?
