What are Instagram Highlights?
Instagram Highlights are curated collections of your Instagram Stories that you can showcase on your profile. These highlights allow you to extend the lifespan of your disappearing stories, making them available for your followers to view even after the initial 24-hour period.
How can I add a highlight on Instagram?
To add a highlight on Instagram, follow these steps:
Open your Instagram app and go to your profile by tapping on your profile picture in the bottom right corner.
Under your bio section and above your posts grid, you will find a “+” button with the label “New.”
Tap on the “+” button and Instagram will display all of your available stories.
Select the stories you want to add to the highlight by tapping on the checkboxes next to them.
Once you’ve selected your stories, click on the “Next” button located at the bottom right of the screen.
A new screen will appear where you can choose a name for your highlight. This name will be displayed on your profile.
After naming your highlight, you can customize its cover image by selecting a thumbnail from one of the chosen stories or uploading a new image.
Once you’re satisfied with the name and cover image, click on the “Add” or “Done” button, depending on your device.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully added a highlight on Instagram. It will now be visible on your profile, allowing your followers to access it anytime.
Can I edit or remove a highlight?
Definitely! To edit or remove a highlight on Instagram, follow these steps:
Go to your profile.
Locate the highlight you wish to modify or delete.
Tap and hold on the highlight until a menu pops up.
From the menu, you can choose to:
– Edit Highlight: This option allows you to change the name, cover photo, or add/remove stories from the highlight.

How many highlights can I have on my profile?
Instagram allows you to have an unlimited number of highlights on your profile. However, only five of them will be visible at once. As you create more highlights, the older ones will be pushed towards the end, but they can still be accessed by tapping on the “See More” button.
Who can see my highlights?
Your highlights are visible to all of your followers. If you have a public account, anyone who visits your profile can view your highlights. However, if you have a private account, only your approved followers will have access to them.
Instagram highlights are a fantastic way to express your creativity and share your favorite moments with your followers. By following these simple steps, you can easily add and customize your highlights to showcase the best of your Instagram stories. So, go ahead and start curating your highlights to make a lasting impression on your profile!
