What does it mean to keep the story on Instagram. Add previously taken photos to Instagram Stories

I am glad to welcome you on the pages of my blog.

I want to talk about the innovation in Instagram, which quickly gained popularity among users of the application. Recently, a popular application has implemented a new feature - Instagram stories, in which users have the opportunity to show what is happening to them at the moment. You can upload to the story short videos or photos that were taken in the last 24 hours.

The program automatically reads new videos and photos from the smartphone’s gallery and allows you to select only the moments created in the last day. Thus, only the most recent moments in the life of users are displayed in the history.

How to add video to Instagram story?

In the heading of the program, click on the circle with a personal avatar, so you will go to the add history menu. By the way, in the same way you can see your added stories for the day. Next, you will have three buttons to choose from, among which you need to select the white “Normal” button.

To take a short video, press the button and hold your finger, the button outline will begin to fill. Then start recording what you want to shoot, shoot a clip, comment on your video in a voice. After the clip is captured, remove your finger from the circle. Instagram allows you to shoot video up to 15 seconds long in the history and if you don’t finish shooting during this time, it will automatically stop it after this time.

Using the buttons in the top menu of the screen, you can add various “Emoji” stickers and emoticons, stickers and pictures, time or date, as well as location - the application automatically reads your geo data. Thus, you can draw attention to the laid out story, make it brighter or more fun, and it will be more interesting for your subscribers to watch it.

How to add video to instagram which is already in gallery?

To publish a video to the story, click on the button as shown in the screenshot. Also, the video can be saved to the gallery, if necessary, otherwise the instagram exactly after 24 hours will permanently delete the published story.

As I wrote above, on Instagram you can upload a story captured over the past day. These restrictions were invented by the developers of the application and have their own meaning and their chip in this function.
You can upload edited videos to the story using various editors, trimming the video or adding music, you get a great storyline for your story.

To download a video, click under the circle a button smaller than the “up arrow”, pull it up the screen. Thus, a gallery will open where you need to select the necessary video for download and publication. Before publishing, you can also add stickers or captions to the video.

Make a habit of publishing stories regularly, daily, subscribers will follow you and expect to see updates from you, see what happens to you. Thus, you will become more popular on Instagram, which will positively affect the development of your profile and you, as a media personality.

Look for inspiration, visit interesting places, come up with ideas and plots for video, this is also a kind of creativity and hobby. Tell about yourself what is happening to you, share joyful moments and impressions, it will be interesting for people to watch you, and they will willingly subscribe to you.

How to put a video in Instagram history  You already understood, it is loaded in two simple ways: to remove a clip immediately from the application and here to edit and lay it out, or add a video that has been previously edited and prepared for publication. You can also upload videos that were shot much earlier, you need to download them from your computer to your smartphone and then the application considers it as new. Instagram sees videos and photos that were created or added to the gallery over the past 24 hours.

Stories also have their own settings. You can get into them by clicking on the hexagon on the left side of the screen on your smartphone. The tinctures have functions for exactly whom you want to show the story to all subscribers or only to a limited circle of people. If you want to preserve the privacy of the video story, then click on the “Hide from ...” button and then filter out those who should not watch your story.

In the next section, “Allow replies to messages,” indicate who can post comments.

After the publication of the story will be automatically saved, uncheck the bottom of the screen, if this is not necessary.

You can also see who watched your publication in the story, for this go to the story, select the published one and at the bottom of the screen click on the “eye” button, which shows the number of views, clicking on it will display a list of users who have watched the story.

You can show any story in the story. See how instagram stars do it, they publish vivid stories from their personal lives, travels, entertainment, concerts and parties, share tips and results of the day, everything that happens to them in their personal lives.

As an idea, make a live broadcast and chat with users live, they like to watch live broadcasts. In the process of communication, you can find out what they like best and want to see in your stories.

Many have already managed to master the new functionality of their beloved Instagram - self-disappearing stories (Stories). These are photos or small videos that after 24 hours themselves disappear from your Stories. Using this functionality is very simple. Just click on the image of the logo of your account or the symbol of the camera in the upper left corner and use the phone’s camera to take a photo, shoot a video or a small repeating video using the Boomerang service built into Instsgram Stories.

If you are a marketer or an SMM box, then you are much more interested in using Instagram Stories to promote your business. And here the question arises, how to upload full-fledged advertising content in the “history”, which, for obvious reasons, cannot be shot on camera. Those. You prepare the image in a graphical editor and upload it from your phone to Stories. I don’t know why the application developers didn’t guess somehow in the Instagram user interface that in order to download a photo from the phone, just swipe down the screen and you will see a gallery of images that you made in the last 24 hours. In the "history" you can upload images made only in the last 24 hours. For many, this action was not so obvious. I hope that in subsequent updates to Instagram, the function of downloading photos from the gallery will become more obvious visually.

Using Stories with photos taken on your phone in the last 24 hours does not cause any problems. But the images previously prepared on the computer and which you can download in the “history” suddenly stretch and in general it turns out some kind of nonsense. Obviously, you need to choose the right image size so that it does not stretch. To do this, you can perform the following manipulations: take a screenshot of the screen in a place in Stories where you are going to take a photo (as in photo 2 above) and see the size of the resulting image. On my Asus Zenfone, the image size turned out to be 1080 * 1920 pixels. We prepare a picture with this size and upload it to Stories. Then your image will not be stretched. At the same time, the size of the picture for the "stories" on the iPhone7 will be 1242 * 2208 pixels. By trial, we found out that the image should have a ratio of 9:16, almost like on TV, just the opposite. 16: 9 - aspect ratio of the screen with a width of 16 units and a height of 9. Since 2009, it has become the most common format for televisions and computer monitors. That’s the whole secret. Although, for many, perhaps this was not a secret.

After reading today's post, you will learn how to put Instagram photos in Instagram history. About the new instagram chip - we already wrote on the resource socprka.ru. Let us remind our readers a little about this great innovation. What is it, these very stories or, as they are also called, plots. If you go to the Instagram application, you will see a picture with the inscription: "Your story" at the top left, near the subscriptions. In the event that today is your first entry into history, you will see an inscription about or a photo in today's plot, otherwise, when you start the story, you will see only those pictures and videos that you already managed to put there today.

As we have already repeatedly noted in this article and in earlier publications on this topic, the story in Insta is the story of a busy and bright day, or rather - a day. That is why there is no explicit possibility for users to upload to Instagram History an old photo. Immediately make a reservation that there is no such possibility today in the standard Instagram application. Who knows, developers can add a similar function in future versions of the application. Despite this, there is always a way out. Let's take a closer look at the option of circumventing the age limit for photos. Find any old photo on your mobile device that, by the way, will fit into your story (see screenshot 1 below).

Now you just need to take a screenshot of the selected image. If you do not know how to make a screen screen, enter in the search engine the query: “your smartphone model is a screenshot. For example, Android phones basically take screenshots by simultaneously holding down the Home button and the volume rocker. In Iphone, to make a screen, you need to hold down the lock button and the Home button at the same time. You can also save the old photo to your computer. After which you edit it and save the photo to your smartphone already under a new name and today's date.

As you understand, in any case, you need to make Instagram think that the old photo was actually taken today (over the past 24 hours). In this case, you can upload saved photos to Instagram history. How to find saved photos in order to subsequently show them in your plot, because one successful photo can significantly increase the popularity of your story, the number of likes and comments will increase. If this does not happen, as you do not try, go to order the right amount of positive ratings for your story.

Let's go back to the procedure for loading saved pictures into our history. Here, not everything is obvious at first glance, but everything is extremely simple. Touch the camera icon and swipe up and down in the window that opens. This will open all the photos you saved or downloaded on the last day, as shown in the upper screenshot.
