Instagram Stories is a new feature that allows users to post photos, videos, and text in a slideshow format. You can share these stories with your followers and friends on Instagram, Facebook Messenger, or WhatsApp. The best part about stories is that they expire after 24 hours, so you don't have to worry about them hanging around forever! Stories are also great for sharing moments as they happen—like when you're out on vacation or back at work after the weekend—or even just practicing photography skills. And if you're looking for some inspiration for creating your Insta-stories? We've got tons of tips below!
How To Use Stories On Instagram
Sharing your day with friends and followers is easy with Instagram Stories. You can post photos, videos, and doodles that disappear after 24 hours. Stories will appear at the top of people's feeds so it's a good way to promote yourself or your business if you want to get more likes, followers, and engagement from your posts on Instagram.
To create an Instagram Story:
1. Tap on the camera icon in the bottom right corner of your feed or swipe left from the feed onto "Stories" (you'll see it as soon as you're logged into Instagram).
2. Record the video by holding down on the record button until you're done recording.
3. If you have multiple clips from one event (e.g., multiple angles), just tap add another clip after finishing one clip.
How To Create The Perfect Story
Now that you know what Instagram Stories is and how to use it, let's get started where to find my liked posts on instagram.
Add a photo, video, or text to your story: To add a photo or video click the square button in the top right corner of your screen. This will bring up all of your recent photos/videos and allow you to select one for use in your current story. If there are no recent photos/videos available then simply click on "Take Photo/Video" at the bottom left corner of this screen (or swipe down from above).
You Can Also Draw On Your Story Photos With The Drawing Tool
This is great for adding emphasis or making a point, especially if you're sharing something that calls for more than just words.
You can also add text and stickers to your stories, which makes them more interactive and fun to read!
And finally, there are some cool features you might not know about yet: sharing a story from Facebook or Messenger; adding music from Spotify playlists (you have to have a paid subscription); drawing on photos before posting them; making sure that only people whom you want seeing your content see it by blocking unwanted followers or having different access levels for different groups of people.
