How to Add Old Photos, Videos to Your Instagram Story

Ever since Snapchat introduced Stories, the popular feature has been adapted by Facebook in its various apps, including Instagram, WhatsApp (known as “Status”) and even Facebook itself. “Stories” lets you share a stream of photos and videos that have a lifespan of 24 hours, and automatically expire beyond that duration.

To upload a story, you need to tap on the “You” bubble from the Stories section on top of the screen, and then either snap new photos/videos that you want to include in your story, or pick photos/videos from Camera Roll (iOS) or Photo Library (Android), by swiping up from the bottom.

Now, here’s the catch. Instagram only lets you pick photos and videos from Camera Roll/Photo Library that have been shot in the last 24 hours. Anything older than that are discarded by the picker. So, if you want to create an Instagram Story using your older photos and videos, the app will not allow you to do that.

In this article, we’ll explore a certain workaround to let you use older photos and videos in your Instagram Stories.

  • 1 Adding Old Photos, Videos to Instagram Stories – How it works
    • 1.1 Add old videos, photos to Instagram Story from iOS Camera Roll
    • 1.2 Add old photos, videos to Instagram Story on Android

The workaround, we’re going to use, basically changes the timestamp of a particular photo or video, so as to trick Instagram into thinking that it was shot within the last 24 hours. Thus, Instagram lets you access the particular file from the media picker on the “New Story” screen.

This can be achieved on both Android and iOS. And the process is a bit simpler on Android compared to that on iOS. Here, we’ll demonstrate both.

Add old videos, photos to Instagram Story from iOS Camera Roll

In order to alter the timestamp of a photo or video to the current date, so that they are usable on Instagram Stories, either we need to edit its metadata, or save it again as a new file. Manually, this process might be somewhat inconvenient as it’s not so straightforward. So, we have created readymade workflows that help you to do the same easily.

Continue reading below

You need to have the Workflow app installed on your iPhone or iPad, which is available for free on the App Store. Next, you’d need to install the two workflows, ReSave Photo and ReSave Video to your device by tapping on the “Get Workflow” button from your iPhone or iPad. The selected workflows will be added to the “My Workflows” section of the app.

Once this is done, the below steps will guide you to change the timestamp of photos and videos on iPhone and iPad, and make them available in the media picker for Instagram Stories.

  1. Open the Photos app and select the particular photo or video that you want to use in your Instagram Story.
  2. Tap on the Share button from the bottom and select “Run Workflow” option from the Action Extensions section of the Share menu. If the option is not available, tap on the More icon and turn on the Run Workflow extension from the list and tap on Done.
  3. Choose ReSave Photo or ReSave Video workflow, depending on the type of media you selected in Step 1.

The selected workflow will now execute and automatically modify the timestamp to the current date and time. Now, you can open Instagram, go into the New Story screen and pull up the picker from the bottom. The desired photo or video that you just processed should be available to pick. Repeat the same steps for all the photos and videos that you want to add to your Instagram Story, and they will appear in the story picker within Instagram.

Note: Both the ReSave workflows mentioned here, create copies of the original photos or videos. Hence, there will be duplicate files created in Camera Roll. If you want, you could delete the newly created duplicates soon after the files have been successfully uploaded to your Instagram Story.

You can achieve the same results using any app that allows you to re-save photos or videos with the current timestamp, or lets you modify the timestamp of the files.

Add old photos, videos to Instagram Story on Android

On Android, file timestamps can be changed to the current date and time simply by a file transfer operation. Thus, you can use an old photo or video on your Instagram Story, just by transferring the file to another random location.

  1. Copy or move desired photo or video that you want to add to your Instagram Story, from its original location to any other directory, using a suitable file manager app.
  2. After the file operation is completed, the timestamp of the file in the destination directory is automatically changed to the current date and time.

Thus, after the photo or video is transferred (copied or moved) from one directory to another, the picker available in Instagram Stories will allow you to select the particular photo or video for your new story. You can repeat the same process for all the photos and videos that you want to add to your story, and the same will be available for you to upload from the new story screen.

5 Ways to Add Multiple Photos to an Instagram Story

  • You can add multiple photos to any Instagram Story or post.
  • Selecting multiple photos from your camera roll will upload each as its own slide in your story.
  • Instagram also has a built-in collage feature that allows you to drop photos into the same slide.

Instagram gives you several different ways to add multiple photos at once to an Instagram Story. After all, sometimes just one photo isn't enough to tell your story. Whether you're assembling a group of family photos, preparing holiday photos or scheduling an Instagram post for your small business or marketing pitch, there's a method to bundle multiple images for your needs.  

You can select up to 10 photos and videos from your camera roll, which get uploaded to your Story as 10 separate slides. Alternatively, you can layer several photos on the same slide as stickers, create a collage using Instagram's built-in Layout feature, or even rely on third-party apps to get the job done.

Add multiple photos to an Instagram Story

The simplest way to add multiple photos to an Instagram Story is to use the Select button to choose up to 10 photos and videos that will play one after the other, like a slideshow. 

1. Swipe right on the home screen to open the Stories page.

2. Tap the photo icon on the bottom-left of the screen to open your Camera Roll.

3. Tap Select, then select up to 10 photos and videos, and each will become its own side in your Story. Then tap the arrow at the bottom-right of the screen to continue.

5. When you're finished, tap the arrow at the bottom-right of the screen.

6. Tap the circle next to your intended audience (Your Story or Close Friends), then tap Share.

Quick tip: If you'd rather publish a short video than a series of photos to Instagram, you can create an Instagram Reel.

Layer photos in a Story using stickers 

You can use stickers to add multiple photos to a Story. Start by selecting the background image, and then you can layer additional photos on top, adjusting their size and position, as well as rotating them for artistic effect. 

1. Swipe right on the home screen to open the Stories page.

2. Tap the photo icon on the bottom-left of the screen to open your Camera Roll. Select a photo.

Use Instagram's built-in collage maker

Instagram's built-in collage maker lets you organize a set of photos into a grid-like pattern, so they appear organized on the screen without a background.

1. Swipe right on the home screen to open the Stories page.

2. Tap the Layout icon on the left side of the screen and then tap the Change Grid icon to customize the layout.

5. Add any additional elements you want to add, such as text or stickers, and then tap the arrow at the bottom-right of the screen.

6. Tap the circle next to your intended audience (Your Story or Close Friends), then tap Share.

Check out third-party apps

While Instagram offers a slew of ways to add multiple photos to a post or Story, you might yet be looking for more options. If none of these can quite get the job done, you can rely on other third-party apps for additional options. 

  • Use Canva. Canva is a powerful but free graphic design app that's especially handy for Instagram; you can use it to create sophisticated Instagram posts using the app's custom-designed templates. Canva has thousands of Instagram-ready templates to choose from, including many that let you create multiple-photo layouts. 
  • Use Google Photos. You've probably used Google Photos to store your photo collection, but don't overlook its value as a way to customize layouts for Instagram. The app includes an easy-to-use collage builder in the Utilities section of the app. 
  • Try other free photo editors. There are a slew of photo editing apps which can help you create multi-photo layouts and collages in Instagram. Be sure to check out our roundup of seven of the best free photo editing apps for details.

Hot on Instagram how to add a photo from the gallery, make it without history

Your page will become brighter with the category Hot on Instagram. This section will help users learn more about you and your lifestyle. All memorable events, whether it's a party with friends or a romantic trip, nothing will be lost and will please the eye around the clock. We offer to improve your page right now by reading the article about the main features and manipulations of the section.

What are live stories

Instagram Stories is an extension of functionality that allows you to add temporary content to your page. Access to them is limited to 24 hours, which is not always convenient, because not everyone has time to see their content. To make it easier to save multiple photos or videos from stories on Instagram, the "Actual from Stories" section has been added. It allows you to collect your memories into albums by topic. In this case, you yourself choose what to add and what not. The added media will be displayed on the main profile picture, where guests and subscribers can easily find it.

What is section used for?

The space of pinned stories is used for personal purposes. In this case, here you can add joyful moments from your life for you. Thus, new subscribers will find out interesting information about your work, loved ones, hobbies and entertainment.

The section is convenient to use to simplify business. Here they post answers to frequently asked questions from customers, the latest information about prices and promotions, as well as show the process of working or providing a service, positive customer reviews, answer questions and hold contests (GivEvei).

Rules for creating

When creating an interesting section, you should consider:

  • the maximum number of characters for the title is 16;
  • the name uses not only letters, but also numbers, signs and even emoticons;
  • one story can be broadcast in several albums;
  • stories will be on the page permanently until they are removed;
  • you won't be able to see exactly who visited your story from this section, but the total number of views and clicks on the inserted links will change.

Designing the cover

A well-chosen cover will increase the number of clicks and views. You can add your own or edit an existing one in a few clicks:

  1. Go to the album with current stories.
  2. Click "Edit" at the bottom left and then "Edit Cover" at the top.
  3. Select a frame from the content by scrolling through the options below. Or click on the gallery icon and use the desired picture from the smartphone's memory.

To diversify your profile, use minimalist covers that match the overall color scheme of your content. It is convenient when a person, looking at the icons from the section, understands where he needs to go. For example, for a manicure business, you can create an album with prices and finished works, on the covers of which the dollar sign and nails will be depicted, respectively. For more information, let's understand the names.

Add photos and videos

In the first option, you can add directly during the loading history:

  1. Select an image or video from your phone.
  2. Add it to history.
  3. After clicking "share", the button "add to current" will appear at the bottom.
  4. Do not delete stories for the entire set time (24 hours).

The second option involves creating albums with content from the stories archive:

  1. Find the section with selected stories under the profile photo and click on the plus.
  2. Select the desired stories and click Next.
  3. Set the title and cover, click "Finish".

Images and videos are added to an existing publication in the same way.

Adding a photo not from the history

It is impossible to add a picture or video directly from the gallery to the current one. To do this, you first need to create a story and do not delete it for 24 hours. Only then will it be possible to fix it.

To get around this limitation, add a story and block access to it, or leave it open only for the Close Friends category.

How many stories can be included in the current

There are no restrictions when adding stories to albums. That is, you can publish as many as you want.

In terms of beauty and convenience, web designers and bloggers recommend creating no more than 4 albums, up to 10 stories in each. Thus, a person who visits your profile will not get lost in a large amount of media data and will easily find the necessary and interesting information for him.

Where to add stories to the current

Actual is generated from the history archive. To do this, click on the desired story and in the lower right corner of the screen, select "Select". This will be followed by the process of adding the album cover and title, as well as other photos uploaded earlier.

You can add a post to your story, and from there "Select" it into a separate category.

How to download

Download photos and videos by finding the corresponding story in the archive. To save to your device, select the desired story and click "More" in the lower right corner, and then "Save photo / video."

Is it possible to hide

To hide the current one, go to album editing and click the checkmark on the photo or video you want to hide. In the same way, it is easy to return all closed content to its place.

How to save

You can save media files by going to the stories archive. Find the photo or video you want, then tap "More" and "Save photo/video". Moreover, in the application settings, it is possible to save all your publications after downloading automatically to your phone. Thus, a folder will appear in the gallery, into which published files will be constantly uploaded.

How to view the archive

All pinned stories are placed in the stories archive. To search for the desired content after publication, click on the button with three horizontal stripes in the upper right corner of the screen, and then the "Archive" sub-item.

Deleting the current one from your account

The developers made this process as simple and clear as possible. To delete an unwanted photo or video file, you will need:

  1. Go to the desired album.
  2. Find the story you want to delete.
  3. Press the "more" and "remove from current" buttons in turn.
  4. Confirm your action "delete photo" or "delete video". If you change your mind, a cancellation clause is provided.

Newly introduced pinning Instagram stories makes this app easier to use. The section is easy to use, it is easy to add, edit and delete media files. Thanks to the ability to personalize the cover and title, they can beautifully complement the overall style of the page, increase traffic and interest a potential audience. To use the feature even more effectively, categorize stories, this, in turn, will facilitate communication with subscribers. The developers did a good job and worked out the possibilities of the section to the maximum, thanks to which popular Instagram bloggers are already actively using it.
