If you want to set your profile apart from everyone on Instagram then you may want to use the dynamic profile picture feature. Here is how you can set it up.
Instagram is one of the most popular social media apps currently available, with over 1.3 billion daily active users. With a platform this large, it makes sense that Instagram rolls out new features often, to keep things interesting for old users and entice new users to get in on the fun.
