Want to add multiple photos in one Instagram Story?
I’m going to show you how to do it on iPhone and on Android.
You can use this trick to create photo collages, add background photos in your Stories, or create any aesthetic Insta Stories you want.
Ready?
First, let’s look at how to do it on an iPhone.

Instagram has a feature called “Photo Sticker” on Instagram Stories.
You can use this feature to add multiple photos in one Story.
Here’s how to do it:
Open your Story in your Instagram app.
For this example, I’m going to choose a background color (see tutorial).
Now press on the “Sticker” button on top of your screen.
The “Photo” sticker will allow you to add multiple photos in your Instagram Story.
Tip: If you don’t have this feature yet, check this blog post to see how you could get it.
Now just choose the photo you want to add in your Story.
At the moment, you can only add one photo at a time.
Instagram will automatically make your photo with rounded corners.
If you don’t want rounded corners, tap on the photo and they will be square.
You can do the “zoom” in and out motion with your fingers on the photo to resize it and place it wherever you want on the screen.
And you’re done!
Watch how I created a beautiful Insta Story using this trick.
Now let’s look how to do it on Android phone.
Instagram doesn’t have the “Photo Sticker” feature for all Android phones at the moment.
So you just need to download an app that will allow you to add your own Sticker Photos in your Stories.
It literally takes 30 seconds to add multiple photos to your Stories on Android using this method.
This app will allow you to add multiple photos to your Stories.
Download it and follow the steps on the screen to activate it on your phone.
That’s how the app works:
One screenshot = one sticker.
So just take screenshots of the photos you want to add in your Story.
Once you’ve taken your screenshots, you can open your Story on the Instagram app.
You have 2 choices:
I’m going to make the background brown.
Press on the “aA” at the top of your screen.
Now press on the “camera” button on the top right corner to add a photo.
Select the photo you want to add in your Insta Story, and you’re done!
Just like on iPhone, you can resize and move your photos.
Repeat the same steps to add more photos in your Insta Stories.

The first method allows you to select up to 10 photos and videos from your camera roll, which get uploaded to your Story as 10 separate slides.

Instagram has a new IMAGE sticker, with which you can add several photos or pictures to your story.
At the moment, the sticker is only available for iPhone users, but will soon be available on Android devices. We understand how the new sticker works and how to use it when creating stories.
Program for promotion in Instagram - SocialKit:
Registration >>>
The appearance of the new sticker is a round icon with an image icon inside. If you already have it, then here is the instruction on how to use it.
Step 1 . Go to the story editor, take a photo / video or add ready-made media from the gallery - this will be the background for the photos that we will add using the new sticker. You can also use a solid color fill as a background (How to make a solid background in a story).
Step 2 . Click on the sticker icon at the top of the screen.
Step 3 . In the sticker panel that opens, scroll down and find a sticker with a photo or picture inside, and click on it.
Step 4 . A gallery will open - select the photo or picture that we want to add. After adding the first picture, we add the required number of photos using the same algorithm.
Step 5 . We publish stories. Before publishing, we choose with whom we want to share the story: send it to someone in Direct, with a list of close friends, or with all subscribers.
Consider options for using the new sticker.
Add several pictures or photos that will be dedicated to one topic. Number them and add text. In the same way, you can arrange small instructions.
Create a collage that is impossible to create with conventional tools. You can make a selection of frames with memories from one event or present the team of the company.
Divide the screen into several parts using the added pictures. You can add text or other elements on top of each picture.
Add some pictures in one column and an emoji slider in another and rotate it 90 degrees. Add text and explain to subscribers to vote by dragging the slider.
Come up with and test your own uses for the new sticker. The main criterion for success is the answers, reactions and actions in stories. You can track them by analyzing the statistics of stories.
The new sticker will allow you to stop using third-party applications and add several photos to Instagram stories using a standard editor.
