5 Hidden Features You Need to Know ¶
- Adding Multiple Pictures to One Post
Did you know that you can add more than one photo to your Instagram story? To do this, go to your camera roll, copy the desired image, and then open your Instagram app. Double-click to paste the image, and you're good to go!
- Accessing More Text Colors
When adding text to your story, you'll find a few text color options at the bottom of your screen. But did you know that you can access even more colors? Simply tap and hold any of the circle color options to open a broader color spectrum.
- Peek-a-boo Effect
Want to add a fun touch to your story? Try the peek-a-boo effect! From your camera roll, choose your desired pic, place a solid color on top of it, and then use the eraser to reveal the image behind the solid color.
- Adding Color Gradient to Your Text
Get creative with your text by adding a color gradient! To do this, highlight your text, go to the color options, and with one finger, hold any color while sitting on the text with the other finger. Slide both fingers at the same time, and you'll get a beautiful gradient effect.

Want to add a mirrored effect to your images? It's simple! After adding your photo to the story, tap on the side of the photo to get a mirrored image.
