Adding a story without starting with a photo or video is straightforward using the Create option.
Steps to Add a Story Without a Photo
To begin creating a story that doesn't require an initial photo or video, you can follow these steps based on the provided reference:
-
Tap Create: Start by tapping the Create option. This feature is designed specifically to help you personalize a story without needing a photo or video to start from.
-
Explore Options: Once in the Create mode, swipe left at the bottom of the screen. This reveals various formats and tools you can use to build your story.
-
Choose Your Content: After swiping left, you can select from different options to add content to your story. These include:
- Typing text
- Adding a GIF
- Asking a question
...among other things.
Other Creative Options
Within the Create menu, you can also find other ways to make dynamic content. For example, the reference mentions:
- Boomerang: Tap Boomerang, then tap the circle at the bottom to take a burst of photos that loops forward and backward. While this results in a visual (a looping video), it's accessed through the same Create starting point and is a creative alternative to a standard photo or video upload.
By utilizing the Create feature and exploring the options available after swiping left, you can easily make engaging stories using just text, GIFs, interactive stickers, and more, without needing a traditional picture or video background.
