Description
### Impacted plugin
Jetpack, None / Other
### Quick summary
When connecting Instagram account in our Latest Instagram Posts Block, [collaborative posts](https://help.instagram.com/5861247717337470/?cms_platform=iphone-app&helpref=platform_switcher) from the Instagram Account are not shown in the block.
I tested Latest Instagram Posts block with different kinds of posts, and found that collaborative posts do not appear in the block. I found this GH Issue - 2097-gh-en.support-docs-content from September 9, 2023 about updating our support doc on Latest Instagram Post to mention that Collaborate posts are currently not supported by Latest Instagram Posts.
The last conversation we had about it was 3 months ago here: p1694192766925039-slack-C0299DMPG and I did not find any recent updates on this.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Latest Instagram Posts Block and compare how photo posts, reels, and collaborative posts are handled during reproduction. Review the referenced support-docs issue 2097-gh.en.support-docs-content and confirm whether the Instagram integration can return collaborative posts; done means collaborative posts appear alongside the other supported post types, with the behavior documented if the platform does not support them.
