1. Create a patterned backdrop for sharing a feed post
Is adding a custom backdrop necessary when you share a feed post on your Story? Goodness, no. But like wearing lipstick to a Zoom meeting, sometimes it’s just nice to add some pizazz to something routine. How to do it: 1. Find the feed post that you’d like to share and screenshot it, cropping so it’s just the post. 2. Next, click the paper airplane icon on that original feed post and select “Add post to your Story.” 3. Stretch the feed post to fill the whole screen—this seems wild, I know, bu...
2. Fill the background with a solid color
The default gradient backgrounds are nice and all, but sometimes, you’ve got something to say that can only be framed by a wall of blinding chartreuse. How to do it: 1. Tap the draw icon. 2. Select a color from the palette (tip:swipe right to see additional color options, or press and hold down on any particular color to open up a rainbow gradient of choices). 3. Once you’ve chosen a color, press anywhere on the image or text part of the screen and hold two or three seconds to fill
3. Uncover even more colors! More!
You’re greedy, but we’re not judging. You actually have access to every color of the rainbow and then some with Instagram Stories. Find your specific brand hues, or get funky with a questionable shade of puce. How to do it: 1. Open Instagram Stories and select the brush tool. 2. Tap and hold any of the default color circles. This will open a color slider. 3. Explore the slider to find the custom color of your dreams! Alternatively, drop an image into your Story and use the eyedropper tool to...
10. Create “progression” posts that build on an image
Build the drama over several Story posts, by adding new elements to the same base image. Oooh, the suspense! How to do it: 1. Craft a Story post as usual with video, photos, text, stickers or drawings. 2. Before you upload it, click the save icon (a downward-facing arrow above a line) at the top to download your composition to your camera roll (if you’ve added any gifs or music, this will save as a video). 3. Upload your Story by clicking the Send Tobutton on the bottom right corner. 4. Next,...
11. Create a “revealing” Story series
Uncover a mystery image with the help of the eraser tool. This next hack involves skills from trick #3 and #7, above. Hope you’ve done your homework because this is absolutely a test. How to do it: 1. Add an image in create mode. 2. Now fill the screen with color (see trick #3!). 3. Select the eraser tool. 4. Erase a bit of the color layer to reveal a small sliver of your image underneath. 5. Hit the save button to download this to your camera roll… but do not upload it yet. 6. Uncover some m...
12. Create cool effects with the eraser tool
A few strategic swipes of the eraser can create the illusion of photo and other elements merging into one. Harmonious! Inspiring! Is this… art? How to do it: 1. Open the photo you’d like to use. 2. Use the marker tool (we like neon) to create a visual element that overlaps the central object of your photo. 3. Now, use the eraser tool to erase any marker bits that overlap with the main photo object. It’ll look like the drawn bits are weaving around it. An optical illusion!
16. Hide hashtags and @mentions
Preserve your aesthetic vision by tucking unlighting hashtags or tags out of sight. It’s the digital equivalent of hiding your electrical cords behind your mid-century-modern desk before Architectural Digestcomes a-knockin’. How to do it: Method 1 1. Type out your hashtags and mentions. 2. Hit the stickers button and select your camera roll. 3. Add an image from your camera roll, which will be placed on top of your hashtags to obscure them. 4. Resize your image to fill the screen: the hashtag...
17. Express yourself with even more fonts
The standard Instagram Story fonts are just the tip of the typographic iceberg. If the in-app typewriter or Comic Sans-knockoff lettering isn’t doing it for you, find something more exciting to paste in. How to do it: 1. Head to the Instagram Fonts Generatorwebsite on desktop or mobile. 2. Type in your message and hit enter to see your font options. 3. Copy the message and paste into the Instagram Story text box. Pro tip:If you have a branded font, add your text right to an image with Photosh...
18. Layer text to add a shadow effect
For text that pops, try this double-up trick. How to do it: 1. Type out your text, then select all and copy. 2. Start a new text box and paste in that text. 3. With text still selected, click the rainbow wheel at the top and choose a different color. 4. Shift that text ever so slightly and layer underneath the original text so it looks like a shadow effect.
20. Turn your Story into a shopping spree
If you’ve got an Instagram Shop, you can tag your one product in each Instagram Story with a product sticker.

21. Change the color of a question sticker
To color coordinate or not to color coordinate? This is the question… or rather, a question about what to do with your question sticker. How to do it: 1. Tap the sticker icon and select Question. 2. Type out your question and then tap the rainbow wheel at the top of the screen. 3. Continue to tap until the question sticker is the color of your choosing.
22. Access more gifs than ever
If there’s such a thing as too many gifs, we don’t want to hear it. While Insta’s search allows you to peruse Giphy’s library, using the Giphy appitself allows you to create albums of your favorites for easy access—and you can share right from Giphy. How to do it: 1. Open the Giphy app and find the gif you want. 2. Click on the paper-airplane share icon (or the heart icon if you’d like to favorite and post later). 3. Select the Instagram icon and then choose Share to Stories. 4. OR select Cop...
