Adding stories to your highlights keeps them visible on your profile indefinitely, allowing visitors to see your past content. Here's the primary method for adding more stories to an existing highlight:
Steps to Add a Story to an Existing Highlight
The most direct way to add more content to a highlight you've already created involves editing the highlight itself.
Here’s a simple breakdown of the process:
- Go to Your Profile: Open the Instagram app and navigate to your profile page.
- Find Your Highlights: Scroll down below your bio to find your Instagram Highlights displayed above your grid posts.
- Select the Highlight: Tap and hold on the specific highlight you want to add a story to.
- Edit Highlight: A menu will pop up. Tap on "Edit Highlight".
- Choose Stories to Add: You'll see a list of your past stories from your archive. Scroll through them and tap on the ones you want to add to this highlight. A checkmark will appear on selected stories.
- Confirm Changes: Tap "Done" (or a similar confirmation button, often in the top right corner) to save your changes.
The newly added stories will now appear within that highlight on your profile.
