Instagram has been on an update roll lately and today they
are introducing two new tools for their users. The first is Stories Highlights.
If you’re a serious Instagram user, you know that Instagram Stories are
available for 24 hours only. That changes with today’s update. “Now you can more fully express your identity
by grouping stories you’ve shared into highlights and featuring them on your
profile.” These highlights will appear in a new section on your profile.
To create new Highlights, tap the “New” circle on the left
and you will be able to choose stories from your archive. You will even be able
to choose a cover and give it a name. Instagram says that your “highlight will appear as a circle on your
profile that plays as a stand-alone story when someone taps it.” As I said
above, Instagram has removed the 24 hours limit your highlights appear in your
profile. However, you have the option to edit or remove them simply by tapping
and holding on them.
Instagram will now also let you automatically save stories
to your archive. “From there, you can
easily switch between your Posts Archive and your new Stories Archive.” The
most recent stories will appear at the bottom and tap on any of them to watch and
share as a post or “add it to a highlight
on your profile.” Before you worry, only you can see your archived stories
and you can turn that off at any time in your profile settings.
Instagram is releasing this update to Android and iOS. Sorry
for Windows users, as usual there’s nothing for you. Download and update
Instagram for Android in Google Play Store.
