As per my previous post regarding Instagram, it was suggested to me to add it to a separate profile on grapheneOS. I have a couple of questions about it:
1.) Does the VPN on my main profile apply to my secondary profile
2.) Do I even need a VPN on my second profile if the only thing on it is Instagram and most permissions are off
3.) Is there a way to transfer selected images/files to the secondary profile
Any other tips for limiting Instagram’s tracking are welcome as well. EXCEPT for “Instagram bad get rid of it.” I am already aware of that.

You are correct, a VPN connection does not bridge to another profile. You can install a VPN in said work profile. The always-on VPN settings in grapheneos have the work icon to indicate what VPN is in your work profile.
