  • In the bio or name field, simply hold your finger for a few seconds until you see the paste option on your screen. When it shows up, tap on it and you will have a new super cool symbol added to your bio or name.

Don't forget to save the changes, or you will have to repeat the steps once again.

20 Instagram Hacks, Tips and Features | by Ig Assistant

Instagram has become the favorite social network of many — and not just for teens and Millennials. In fact, according to the Pew Research Center, 35% of online adults use Instagram — up 3% from 2016. Compare that, for example, to 24% on Twitter.

Plus, folks don’t just use Instagram casually, as 38% of them use it several times each day.

But for those who have never used the platform before or those who just want to take their usage to the next level, Instagram has some lesser-known tricks, settings, and hacks, search options, and comment features you should know about. That’s why we set out to find them and list them all in one place.

Whether you’re a recruiter looking to showcase your company’s culture, a marketer in the e-commerce industry, or an individual who’s just looking to use Instagram in the best ways possible, there are tips and features here for you.

Never want to miss an Instagram post from your favorite influencers again? You can choose to get a notification every time a specific user posts a new photo. All you have to do is turn on notifications for each user individually.

To get push notifications for someone you follow on Instagram:

  1. Open their profile page
  2. Tap the triple-dot button in the upper-right corner
  3. From the menu, tap Turn on Post Notifications

Want to turn post notifications off? Just follow the same steps. It’s important to note that you must enable notifications from the Instagram app in your phone’s settings — here’s how.

  • To allow notifications on iPhone/iPad: Go to “Settings,” then “Notifications.” Choose “Instagram” and then turn on the setting to “Allow Notifications.”
  • To allow notifications on Android: Go to “Settings,” then choose “Apps,” then “Instagram.” Select the option to show notifications.

Here’s an Instagram bio hack that can truly make your profile stand out. You can already add emojis to the bio beneath your profile photo, but your keyboard limits your creativity right there.

Using a couple of basic third-party websites, you can copy over some more special fonts not often found in the Instagram community. Here’s how.

1. Choose your font

There are various tools that generate fonts that can be used on Instagram. Try Instagram Fonts or LingoJam, for starters. You could also experiment with Cool Symbol’s Fancy Text Generator, but be warned that the interface can be confusing. The Fancy Text Generator tool also gives you the option of decorating your text, although this is probably too much for most profiles.

Type in the text that you want to change, and these tools come up with a list of fonts that can be used in Instagram, showing you how your text would look in each. Some fonts are pretty simple, some use emoji and symbols — with varying degrees of success — and others have so much going on they are almost illegible.

Speaking of legibility, bear in mind that you probably don’t want the whole of your Insta bio to be in a different font, or it may become hard to read. Once you’ve found the font you want to use, copy it.

2. Paste in Instagram

Open Instagram, and go to Edit Profile, then paste in your new font. Click Submit and you are done. That’s it!

If you’d prefer a wider selection of fonts, check out the iOS Fonts — for Instagram app.

3. Add special characters to your bio

Not only can you customize your bio with a special font, but you can also add atypical characters that distinguish you or your brand — but that you wouldn’t find on your smartphone’s normal keyboard. These include §, †, or even ™ if your Instagram name features a trademarked product name.

To Add Special Characters from Mobile

Using your mobile device, install a free mobile app like Character Pad, which catalogs nearly every character and symbol you might need but won’t find in the 26-letter English alphabet.

Open the app and find the character you want to add to your Instagram bio. In Character Pad, you’ll simply double-tap the picture of your chosen symbol to paste it into a text box, as shown below. Then, copy this character to your phone’s clipboard.

Once you have your symbol copied to your clipboard, open Instagram, navigate to your bio, and tap “Edit Profile.”

Hold down your finger on the field of your bio you want to insert your special character until “Paste” appears as an option, as shown below. Tap “Paste” and you’ll be all set.

To Add Special Characters from a PC

You can also insert special characters and symbols through Instagram’s web client on a desktop or laptop computer. The easiest way is to use Microsoft Word’s “Symbol” insertion icon, as shown below.

Select your desired symbol or character and copy it to your computer’s clipboard. Then, navigate to Instagram.com and follow the steps above to paste your character into a particular part of your bio.

You might be tempted to simply Google search the special character you want, and at times it might work just as well as the steps above. But keep in mind not all special characters you copy from the internet are “clean” when you paste them into Instagram — some of them might become corrupted or not show up correctly.

As much as Instagram would like to see you ultimately create an account for yourself or your business, you can peruse the beautiful brands, people, and dogs that are waiting for you without an account to see if it’s worth signing up.

There are two ways to search for people on Instagram without logging in:

1. Entering a Username at the End of the Instagram URL

The first way to search users without an account is by using an Instagram username you already know and adding it to the end of www.instagram.com/.

  • Keep in mind that you can only search for all accounts but can only view the photos of the public ones.
  • You can often find peoples’ Instagram usernames on their other social media accounts.

For example, we are looking for IGASSISTANT Instagram account — which is simply “igassistant.automation” — you can enter the following into your browser’s address bar: www.instagram.com/igassistant.automation. This will bring you to IGAssistant Instagram profile as well as the elusive search bar at the top of the page:

Once you’ve reached this page, you can use the search bar to the left of the “Sign Up” button to browse users who are already active on the platform.

2. Googling them in an Instagram Site Search

A slightly “hackier” way of looking up users without an Instagram account of your own is to simply search their name in a Google site search. This means telling Google to only look up search terms on a website of your choice (in this case, Instagram).

To site search a user, open a Google search and type the following: “site:instagram.com [name of user].”

By keeping all the text prior to the brackets in your search bar, you can shuffle through names of people and businesses and Google will produce results that live only on Instagram.

Have you ever liked something in your Instagram feed and wanted to show it to one of your friends later, but you couldn’t remember who posted it or where you saw it? There’s a simple solution to this problem. The Instagram app allows you to view posts that you’ve liked.

  1. Navigate to your Instagram profile. Select the menu icon at the top right of the screen.

2. Select “Settings.”

3. From the Settings menu, select “Account”

4. Scroll down and select “Posts you’ve liked”

You should now be able to see all the Instagram posts you’ve liked.

Once the feature is live, you can manage up to 5 Instagram accounts without having to log in and out to switch between each account.

  1. To add an account, from your profile, tap the gear icon. To find this icon on an Android device, you’ll first need to tap the three horizontal lines to the top right of your screen. Then tap “Setting”.
  2. Scroll to the very bottom and tap “Add Account.”
  3. Add your other account by username and password, and you’re all set.

To toggle between both profiles, hold down your profile picture in the navigation bar to view all connected accounts. You can also switch to a different account through the Settings page mentioned earlier. See what this screen looks like in the next Instagram feature, below.

Consistency is key to nailing your Instagram strategy. And an Instagram scheduler is your best tool for making that happen.

Scheduling your posts has a ton of benefits, and it’s simple to set up. Once you’re done you can free up your time to work on the bigger picture.

How to schedule Instagram posts:

Easily Schedule your Instagram posts to be published at the right time to gain more visibility. Create as many drafts as you need, specify the exact date and time, include captions, locations & proper hashtags and you are all set. Set the removal time for your advertorial posts.

Buy likes and views for your future posts to skyrocket their visibility.

Post to Instagram straight from your PC or any other device.

Make the most of many other available options all included in IGAssistant Post Scheduler service.

Your friends, family, and coworkers might be your first group of Instagram followers, but growing your audience takes more than the people who already know you. One key way to do this is to get your profile to appear in Instagram’s Explore page.

The Explore page, accessible using the magnifying glass icon shown above, is a browsing page that sorts the entire Instagram community by topic and keyword. These include “Fitness,” “Style,” “Science,” and more.

Hashtagging your posts with these words can expose your content to the people browsing these topics, but you can also use them in your Instagram name and bio to promote your profile. If Jane Doe is a marketing consultant, for example, she might want to make her Instagram name “Jane Doe Marketing,” rather than simply “Jane Doe.” Then, in her bio, she can include all of her specialties, such as “SEO,” “blogging,” “email marketing,” etc.

In addition to being able to view all of the posts you’ve liked, Instagram also has an option to save or bookmark certain posts in collections that you create.

Start by going to your profile, and tapping the Menu icon at the top right of the screen.

Then tap on Saved icon.

To create a new collection:
  1. Below a post you’d like to include in your collection, tap and hold Bookmark button

2. Tap + button

3. Enter a name then tap Done.

Instagram Stories is a feature of Instagram that allows you to post ephemeral photos that show up separately from your profile and only last 24 hours. It’s a great function for helping like-minded users discover your profile on Instagram’s homepage.

But since its beginning, Stories have become quite creative, and it takes more than a pretty filter to stand out to your audience. Enter “Type Mode,” an option similar to Snapchat that gives you the power to caption Stories that need extra context to resonate with someone. Here’s how to use it:

Open Instagram Stories by swiping right from your Instagram feed. This will launch your smartphone camera. Then, take a photo or video and press the “Aa” icon to the top-right of your screen, as shown below:

This “Aa” icon will open Type Mode, where you have five fonts to choose from Modern, Neon, Typewriter, Strong, and Classic.

Like in Snapchat, posts to your story only stick around for your followers to see for 24 hours. But sometimes, you have a story that deserves more daylight to be told.

That’s where Stories Highlights comes in, a feature by Instagram that allows you to save stories together in the same space on your profile page. If you ever wondered what that “New” button with the “+” icon was below your profile image, this explains it.

To make a Stories Highlight, tap this new option and select any number of past stories in your album.

Then, give it a cover photo and a name to display as its own Instagram Story on your profile page. You can remove Stories Highlights at any time by tapping and holding down this story.

Although Instagram Stories are a great way to give your content exposure on your followers’ homepages, you might not always have something Story-worthy. In those times, you can share an inspiring post from someone else through your Instagram Stories. Here’s how:

Find a post you want to share in your Instagram Stories and tap the paper airplane icon, as shown below.

This icon will open a screen allowing you to send this post to specific followers, or add to your Story. Tap the latter option, as shown below.

Tapping this option will automatically turn the post into an Instagram Story, which you can edit and design to your liking the same way you would any other Instagram Story.

Instagram has introduced long-form videos in the form of IGTV (Instagram TV). While you could post videos on Instagram earlier as well, it was limited to just 15 seconds for most users. Now with IGTV, you can upload videos up to 10 minutes in duration (one hour for select accounts).

IGTV is available as a standalone app as well as within the regular Instagram app. IGTV videos are vertical which means you can easily create and consume them on mobile. With Instagram hitting a billion users, this looks like the next big thing for the Facebook-owned mobile platform.

The IGTV app is available as a free download on both Android and iOS. Once you download the app, you’ll need to sign in using your Instagram account. After signing in, you’ll start seeing a curated timeline of videos from people you already follow on Instagram.

Navigate to IGTV by tapping the icon shown above. A page will appear featuring topics and videos by some of the most prolific IGTV video creators on the platform today. As you view more videos, the topics you see on the IGTV homepage will begin to adapt to your interests and serve you more content around those interests. And, naturally, the same goes for your target audience.

Create an IGTV channel by tapping the circular icon to the right of your screen.

With an IGTV channel created, you can then upload videos directly from your smartphone’s camera roll to your channel.

When you’re looking to discover new people to follow on Instagram, there’s nothing like asking your friends. There’s a quick way to do that — by viewing the recent liking and commenting activity of the people you follow.

Tap on the Heart icon at the bottom row which you use to see your notifications.

Now, if you notice at the top, You tab will be selected by default. This shows all your notifications. In order to view posts liked by others tap on Following.

Under Following, you will be able to see the following information.

  • Photos and Videos liked by the users you are following.
  • Comments liked by the users you follow.
  • You can also see the user followed by someone you are following.

The limitation of this method is that you need to follow the user to see their activity. Personally, I would like Instagram to introduce a search feature in the Following tab under notifications. It will make a hell lot easier to quickly see the activity of a specific friend. Right now the only option you have is to browse until you see the desired friend’s Instagram activity.

Twitter may carry a more “anything goes” culture of commentary, but your Instagram is your domain — and it’s much easier to control who says what on your content. This is especially important if you manage a business account.

To Filter Comments by Keyword:

In the Instagram mobile app, navigate to “Options” and select “Comments”. From here, you can toggle on “Hide Inappropriate Comments” and even enter specific keywords you’d like the app to police within each comment.

To Delete Comments:

Tap the speech bubble icon below the comment you’d like to delete, and swipe lightly to the leftover this text. Select the garbage can icon that appears to delete this post. You can also do this to your own comments.

To Disable Comments Entirely:

To clarify, you can’t turn off comments across your entire profile; you can only disable them for individual posts.

To do so, start posting an image on which you’d like nobody to comment. When you reach the page to add a caption, tags, and location, tap “Advanced Settings” at the very bottom. This will open a screen where you can easily switch on an option labeled “Turn off Commenting”.

To clear your Instagram search history, go to your own profile and click the “Setting” button. Next, tap “Security” section, Scroll down and click “Clear Search History.” When prompted, click “Yes, I’m sure.”

Perhaps you love Instagram’s filters and editing capabilities but aren’t quite ready to post the photo to your account — right now, or ever. To use Instagram as a photo editor without posting anything, all you need to do is publish a picture while your phone is on airplane mode.

First, be sure you have “Save Original Photo” turned on in your Instagram settings.

Then, turn on airplane mode.

Next, follow the normal steps to post a photo to Instagram: Upload the photo, edit it, and press “Share.” An error message will appear saying the upload failed, but you’ll be able to find the edited image in your phone’s photo gallery.

When someone tags you in a photo or video on Instagram, it’s automatically added to your profile under “Photos of You,” unless you opt to add tagged photos manually (see the next tip).

To see the posts you’ve been tagged in, go to your own profile and click the person icon below your bio.

Then, to hide the posts you’ve been tagged in from other users, click the three dots in the top right of your screen and choose “Hide Photos.” Select the posts you’d like to remove from your profile, and when you’re done, tap “Hide Photos” at the bottom of your screen. When prompted, tap “Hide from Profile.”

This won’t remove the posts themselves from Instagram, but it will remove them from your profile, so you and others can’t access them.

As I mentioned in the previous step, when someone tags a photo or video of you on Instagram, it’s usually added to your profile automatically. But, you can change your Instagram settings to enable manually selecting which photos you’re tagged in that show up on your profile.

When you choose to add photos and videos manually, they’ll appear on your profile only after you approve them. By default, when someone tags a photo or video of you, it will automatically be added to your profile.

To manually select the photos and videos that appear on your profile:

  1. Go to your profile and tap three horizontal lines.
  2. Tap Setting.
  3. Tap Privacy.

4. In Interactions section tap Tags

5. Tap next to Add Automatically to turn this off.

If you choose to add photos and videos to your profile manually, you’ll still be notified when someone tags you in a photo or video. To add that photo or video to your profile, tap the photo or video, then tap your username and select Show on My Profile (iOS) or tap next to Show in Your Profile (Android). On your computer or mobile browser, click the photo and then click three dots icon in the top right. Select Post Options and then select Show on My Profile or Hide on My Profile.

One of the biggest frustrations people have with marketing on Instagram is that clickable URLs aren’t allowed anywhere except the single “website” box in your bio. If you put a URL in a photo caption it’ll appear as plain text, meaning users would have to painstakingly copy the URL, open a web browser, and paste or type it in there.

One sneaky way to get people to visit your Instagram profile, which is where that one clickable URL is allowed, is to use your photo captions to encourage people to visit your profile for a link. Then, update that URL frequently to point to your latest blog content, YouTube video, product, or offer.

Plus, if you have a verified Instagram account, you can also add links to your Story.

Instagram is a mobile application

As you know, Instagram offers mobile applications for Android and iOS platforms. You can log in to your Instagram account through a browser on both mobile and desktop devices. However, Instagram does not allow you to post from a computer, and you only need to post content using the mobile apps. Because of this limitation, we will explain how to embed emoji on Instagram using Android and iPhone devices. You can also post from the Instagram website with an emoji caption as described below. nine0005

Emoji keyboard on Android and iOS

Instagram uses the built-in emoji keyboard on your smartphone. Apple offers a built-in emoji keyboard that you can add to your keyboard layout. However, on Android devices, you may need to use Google's Gboard extension or any other keyboard extensions that offer emojis. Because the interface of the Instagram mobile app is the same for Android and iPhone, you can follow the same instructions on Android, iPhone, and iPad. nine0005
