How to Post Your Own Photos in Instagram Stories Replies
Surely you've noticed the Instagram Stories of the people you follow: many of them respond to the Questions function with photos, videos, GIFs and all kinds of their own content. Something that until now only happened if you have an iPhone mobile. Now Android users have started receiving this feature And this is how you can get the most out of it.
The first thing is to know that if you have an Android mobile you are interested in updating your Instagram application to the latest version.Head over to the Google Play Store to download any possible pending updates to ensure you have the latest features available. At the moment it seems that the function of responses with your own photos or videos is available to everyone without the need to be a betatester user (testing), although it may disappear eventually as is happening with other tools. It looks like Instagram is still fine-tuning a lot of its features, so be patient if you can't find this feature.
To test if you have it, just publish a story with the questions function You know, click on the icon of the camera top left on Instagram, record or take a photo and display the functions from bottom to top. Here is the Questions feature, where you can set a header for people to answer whatever they like or ask you any questions.
Once they respond to you, you just have to go to that story and slide your finger from bottom to top on the screen. So you will see the different responses received. When clicking on any of them, a pop-up menu appears where you can give response And here comes the novelty, because there is no longer just a single multicolor screen for the answers. Now you can create an entire Instagram Story from scratch to add dynamism to the response.
This means that while the answer is still on the screen as a sticker, you no longer have to just reply with text when sharing that answer. You have at hand all the functions of Instagram Stories to complete this answer That is, you can take a normal photo at that very moment, or you can even keep pressing the button shot to record a video.But there is more.
If you notice, all the different formats available in Instagram Stories still appear at the bottom of the screen. That is, we can create boomerans, superzooms or other videos or photos for this answer Of course, the options to draw or write freehand, as well as to plant GIFs, they are still very present. You only have to capture the photo or video as a response, and then decorate the story in the usual way with all these elements.
Remember that camera switching (front and rear) is also available. You can even take advantage of it while recording a video. So if you have to give and, above all show, explanations to a question or an answer, you can make it much more visual. Of course, do not forget now to answer with textoThis function is also still available in case you don't want to take a photo or video. So Instagram gives you all the options to create varied content tailored to your needs. Whether you feel like a true influencer, or simply want to respond to your followers in a more personal way.
