Instagram allows you to embed individual posts manually, but it won’t auto-update.

Steps:



  1. Go to Instagram and open the post you want to embed.

  2. Click the three dots (…) in the top right corner of the post.

  3. Select "Embed" and copy the code.

  4. Paste the code into your website’s HTML <body> section where you want the post to appear.


???? This method does not automatically update the feed. If you need an auto-updating Instagram feed, check the methods below.
