Photo editing

We’ve taken the ideal photo, edited it with filters for 30 minutes and it’s ready to post!!

However, as is often the case in business, something else is at stake or at that moment we have no inspiration #writersblock.

What we can do is simply save the photo as a draft for later — without losing any editing done in the photo of course.

How:

Touch the + icon at the bottom of the screen to select the photo you want to upload
Edit the photo as desired by adding filters, labels, or location
Press the return key to return to the edit screen
Press the same button again
A popup menu will appear, select Save Clipboard
When you are ready to share your photo, tap the + icon, then select Library
A new DRAFT section will now appear above CAMERA ROLL
Select the photo you want or select Manage to view all saved drafts
After that, upload it as usual

How to create the right stories for your brand

Often times we collect material to use for our stories, which can be about a product, a service or a beautiful moment.

However, there are many times when we get a lot of messages & positive feedback from our audience for this particular story and we have a lot of interaction. Then we decide we want this story to be seen by all those who follow us because it really is the content that our audience wants.

But can we publish it on our profile’s feed? Yes we can!

How:

Open your story
Tap the three-dot icon in the lower-right corner of the photo or video you want to share
Tap Share as Post
Edit-add filters, labels, captions, etc. — and then, what you would normally do!

How to hide your online status

This is a matter of great concern as it is not appropriate for our followers to see that we are online but we do not respond, which let’s be honest can happen when we have too many unread messages.

So you can just disable the status of your activity.

Here’s how:

If you do not want everyone who follows you to know when you were last active in the app, you can disable the activity status in Instagram Direct Messenger.
