Would you like to make your daily life more enjoyable? Then you can watch a new movie, or work on your creativity with your Instagram page. Stories are the main feature of Instagram social media, and in this article, we will go through 7 tips on how to improve your Instagram stories.
Instagram Stories has grown immensely over the years and now has more than 500 million users, according to play at Playamo.
Use Stickers
Stickers can be used not only for beauty but also to induce users to perform certain actions: to subscribe to a page or follow a link. For example, brands use an animated arrow in addition to the standard one to draw more attention to some detail.
The Hands-Free Feature
Would you like to record a workout or play a guitar? Then use the useful Hands-free option. What is it? This mode lets you record a video with a single click on the Shooting icon. The clip will be standard for a single Stories (15 seconds), but there will be as many as you need.
Signature Stories
Want to share important news with your followers? Your followers may be riding public transportation or sitting in a meeting in the chief’s office. At such moments, it is extremely uncomfortable to turn on the sound. We suggest accompanying videos with concise captions-thesis with brief content.
Turn Live-Photo Into Boomerangs
This tip is only relevant for photos taken no later than 24 hours ago. It works like this: open Stories, swipe up, and select live-photo. Then tap and hold your finger on the screen for a few seconds until Boomerang appears. Post and enjoy your creation.
Share Someone Else’s Post
Do you like a new photo of a blogger and you urgently want to share that beauty with your subscribers? Reposting is a great way to legally steal someone else’s publication or show your appreciation for the Influencer. You can adjust the scale of the post, add stickers or captions, and change the background color.
Yet, you can only share posts from profiles that are in the public domain.
Add a Flicker Effect to Your Emoji
Want your emoji to grab your followers’ attention? Then use a cool trick that not everyone knows about – glowing emojis. To do this, open Stories, activate the text tool and select the Neon font. After that, any emoji typed on the screen will light up with a shimmering effect.
Hide Hashtags
Hashtags in Stories are a great chance to increase the number of views. Yet, from a visual point of view, it does not look aesthetically pleasing.
So, what to do? Simply hide annoying hashtags using the following scheme: add the necessary hashtags, and then, sliding your fingers down, reduce them. Just don’t get carried away and don’t make the tags too microscopic because Instagram simply doesn’t recognize these designations.
