Instagram Story HACKS You Didn't Know Existed In 2022!

Key Takeaways

what is up everyone welcome back to my channel now last time that I posted a video I talked about the five features that most people don't really know about when using Instagram now at the end of that video I promise that I will be posting a video just like this where I would share more unknown features but this time specifically for Instagram story so if you'd like to know some features that you probably weren't using on Instagram story then keep on watching alright so the first feature that I want to show you is leveraging copy and paste for your Instagram stories now did you know that you can actually copy and paste multiple photos within your Instagram story now I'm gonna share my screen right over here and teach you exactly how it's done alright so I just got a new kitten recently and let's say I want to post a story with multiple photos of my kitten in just one page now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go on my photo albums and I'm gonna choose a couple photos of my kitten so this is my etiquette and his name is Jupiter and I'm actually going to copy this photo now once I go to my Instagram story what I'll do is I'll post you know let's say a blank photo right here and what I'm going to do is I'm going to hold the screen and when I hold the screen I'm going to click paste this is going to automatically paste that photo that I have just copied now let's say I want to add more photos because this is a little album of my new kitten I'm gonna go back to my album find another photo of my kitten copy it again go to my story and paste it once more boom here's another one now I can actually keep going I can add as many photos as you want so this is a really cool feature if you want to kind of add more photos in one story instead of doing multiple stories and this is something that I find super super convenient and super super cool now the second hack that I want to share with you in terms of Instagram stories is the ability to actually access more colors now again I'm gonna share my screen and show you exactly what I mean so right now I am on my Instagram story I'm about to post a picture of me and what I'm going to do is I'm going to add some text now my text maybe will be hello now what you don't realize is you can actually have more colors aside from the colors that Instagram automatically gives you and how you do this is all you have to do is just take color and hold it down once you hold down that color you're gonna be able to access the entire archive of all the colors that exist so if you don't like any of the colors that Instagram has given you you can always choose your own now if you want take it a step further the third half that I'm going to show you is how to create gradient colors or rainbow colors in your fonts so let's say you want to kick it up a notch and you don't just want to have a solid basic color now let me first show you how to get a rainbow effect what you want to do is you want to select your text highlight all of it and then you also want to hold the color button so that you get the entire color scheme now what I showed you earlier is that if you keep dragging that dropper across you're gonna get new colors but if you want to have a rainbow effect what you want to do is while you drag your finger across in terms of getting the colors you also want to drag the highlight section as well so together let's just do it and see how it goes if you want to drag it across and then you want to let go and you'll be able to kind of get rainbow effect now obviously as you can see it's a little bit hard to master but if you're really good at dragging it at the same time at the same speed you should be able to unlock the rainbow effect as you can see I'm not very good at it but at least you get the idea now let's say you want to actually create a gradient effect now what you want to do is basically the same thing you want to highlight all you want to hold it so that you get all the colors but instead of dragging it across you want to drag the color dropper up and down in order to get a gradient effect so while you're dragging the highlighted text across your other finger is dragging the color scheme up or down in order to get a gradient effect of the same color so let's say I want to do something like a gradient purple I'm gonna go to the purple section and as I drag the selector across I'm going to drag the color dropper up and that's going to allow a cool little effect where I have a total gradient in purple now these are obviously really cool features to leverage especially if you want to spice up your Instagram stories I personally don't use them but I still think it is quite cool alright so the next and last hack that I want to share with you is actually something that I use quite often and it is how to actually have multiple answers to your Instagram questions in one story one of the features that I use a lot in my Instagram stories is the question function this is the thing where you actually ask your audience questions and then they give back the answer now something that I've always struggled with is answering all these questions all at once because you can only share each answer at a time in your story now like I've been doing this entire video I'm gonna pop my screen right here so you can see what I'm talking about but basically this is an exam of a question that I asked my audience a while back regarding a program that I was launching now what you're gonna do is you're going to share the response to your story you're gonna position it the way that you want and then you're going to save the photo you're not going to upload it yet you're just going to save it now after you've shared this new question on your page what you can do now is actually re-upload the previous photo that you had saved with the last question that you had and then you just keep repeating the steps until you're happy with the result what this is going to do is that on one page alone you're gonna have all the answers to your questions and you're going to be able to answer them all at once now obviously the person who answered the question will not get notified when you share just because technically you're not sharing their answer anymore you're just saving and uploading and saving and uploading however what you can do is just simply tagging these people in that one story so that they can all be notified to check on your answers to their questions or your responses to their answers so as you can see so far this video has been a total mouthful this is definitely a shorter video than usual but I really hope that you enjoyed the hacks that I showed you on how you can make your Instagram stories a little bit more interesting now if you're watching this video and
