Similar feature is already available on Facebook and YouTube. Even Twitter allows users to pin their tweets.

The announcement was made via the photo-sharing app's Twitter handle. As per the tweet, pinned comments have now been rolled out everywhere for both Android and iOS users. The feature is now available and can be accessed with ease.

The users can also access options such as report the comment, restrict the user who has commented or block the user who has commented. The new pinned comments on Instagram are now available to use for all Android and iOS users.

The platform has reportedly started testing a new feature ‘Shop’ which is tipped to replace the Activity tab. The traditional heart icon in Instagram’s navigation menu will be replaced with a shopping bag icon. Tapping on the new icon will take users to the Instagram Shop section that was introduced back in May.
