For a few days, Instagram has released new functions for its star section: Instagram Stories. And it is that, once they have captured the attention of the users, it is necessary to maintain it to ensure that everyone comes back for more. At the moment, and from now on, users can recover stories from more than 24 hours ago. But also anchor our favorites directly in the profile A good business card to be able to know our most serious publications, and our not so ephemeral moments.
How to Pin Instagram Stories on Profile
The first thing is to make sure you have the latest version of Instagram. We are already using an Android mobile or an iPhone. From here all that remains is to record stories as usual Or even use some of the past ones. Of those that have already been recorded and that have gone to the new history of archived stories.
When displaying any of these contents, at the bottom of them, a new function appears. This is Highlight, with which you can bookmark a story, so to speak. In this process you can also give a name or title to said story. The result is that such content is displayed without an expiration date directly in the user's profile. To be reproduced as many times as desired.
It is possible to highlight a long list of stories to personalize the first impressions of your profile. You just have to repeat the process from the Instagram Stories function, or from the button + of the featured Stories profile Or even from the stories archive.
Creating Instagram Stories series
There is an important function that can go unnoticed within Highlight Instagram Stories. It is about creating true collections or series of these contents In this way the user can select several photos and videos to be reproduced in the same story. Something like stacking the same stories under the same highlight.
To do this, you just have to go to the profile and press the + button. Here the entire history of archived Stories opens, where you can check two or more of these itemsIt only remains to choose all the contents that will be part of the same series, and press the Next button. Then, on the next screen, it is possible to give the series a title that encompasses all these stories. In addition, it is possible to edit the cover image, choosing between the different stories and, not only that, but it also allows you to reframe the cover image of any of them.
This content is published as another featured story. The difference is that, when you start to play it, not only one content is shown, but all the other associated ones. A kind of series or continuation where various contents can be included in a simple and orderly way.
How to delete featured stories
As we say, the content is anchored forever. No reproduction limit for users who decide to watch it. But there is an option to delete these stories so that the Featured section does not end up being a profile overloaded with content.
All you have to do is make a long press on the content. And, in the dropdown menu that appears, select delete featured story. In this way it is possible to clean the profile with all these stories that we have been adding Thus until leaving it completely clean or only with the stories that you want to store.
The same formula can be applied to story series. That is, to the contents that include more than one photo or video. A long press allows editing these contents to delete any associated history, or to delete the entire series at once.
