Yes. When you post to Instagram, your widget shows the new post on its own. Widgets for Facebook, X, TikTok and YouTube also update on their own. You do not need to change the widget or the code on your website. How soon a new post shows up: Your visitors see new posts the next time they load the page. To update a page that a visitor keeps open, use a Pro widget and turn on Auto Refresh on the Advanced tab. Then set Auto Refresh Time to the number of minutes you want.
You only need new code when you change a setting such as Responsive or Photo Link. See Find your widget code.

If your widget stops updating

Your widget needs a working connection to your account. If the connection expires, the widget stops showing new posts. Your dashboard then shows Requires Re-Auth on the widget. To fix it, see My widget needs to be updated. On a Pro widget, you can choose which posts show. With Wait for my approval on, a new post shows only after you approve it. A new post also stays off your widget when it has a word from Hide posts with these words, or when you show only photos or only videos. See Hide, pin and approve posts. For other causes, see My widget is not updating.
