Instagram is getting closer and closer to businesses, as its parent, Facebook, does as well. This time they introduced a new feature that allows users and businesses as well to post older pictures in Stories. And by older, it means that not only the ones took 24 hours before, but 2 or even 5 years earlier. Until now, both users and businesses were using tricks to post older photos, but this is not necessary anymore.
With this new feature, Instagram is detaching from just copying Spanchat and it is improving the user’s experience with the platform, by giving more flexibility instead of limiting user’s creativity to a limited period of time.
How do you post older pictures in Stories?
You open Instagram and then the Stories feature by swiping right or by the button on the upper left side of the screen. After you enter the Stories mode, you select the photos button on the down left side of the screen.
The pictures you have taken in the last 24 hours will appear under the label ”Last 24 hours”, whereas the older ones, under the label ”Camera roll”. If you select a photo or a video from the last 24 hours, it will appear like stories taken spontaneously, whereas when you add an older photo or video, a sticker with the date in which it was taken will appear on it. You can choose if you want to keep the sticker and change its color from white to black or red or to simply delete it.
