Instagram Tips, Tricks and Hacks
Here are 7 Instagram tips and tricks you should know to conquer the Instagram world.
Get your fonts from secondary websites
While Instagram offers only a limited number of fonts on the app, it is possible to use other websites to generate a variety of fonts. This will give the user the chance to play with the content they create. While this hack has been possible for some time, most users are unaware of its existence.
Share as a post from the story
Posted a picture on your story but would like it on your feed now? No problem. Instagram lets you post directly from your story to your feed. All you have to do is click on the three dots on the bottom right corner and select ‘Share as post’.
Business Account
Even though users are well aware of business/creator accounts, they do not fully understand the benefits of having one. Business accounts give users the opportunity to access user analytics. This is essential as it will provide the influencer and creator with detailed information about their engagement and traffic.
Remove unwanted tagged photos
If your friends have the habit of posting pictures you look funny in, this might be the remedy to all your problems. Instagram allows you to remove the post from your profile or remove the tag entirely. To do this, click on the 3 dots at the upper right corner of the post. Select tag options and choose the action you wish to carry out.
Two-factor authentication
This is a feature that is not implemented by users effectively. The feature helps protect your account and ensure that it is not susceptible to hacking. It is the process of adding a second layer of protection other than your username and password.
Add other accounts and hashtags to your bio
Instagram now allows users to add an account to their bio. This makes it convenient to redirect your users to other accounts easily if you wish to. Having hashtags on your bio can also be very helpful if you are trying to raise awareness for a particular cause.
Saved posts can be organised in collections
This is a feature that makes it easier for users to organise their saved posts. You can have a collection of cooking and recipe posts, one for fashion and one for your favourite Instagram quotes.
