How to add Multiple Pictures on an Instagram Story

Last Updated on

Instagram now allows users to add multiple pictures to one Instagram story!

But this feature seems to only be available for a select few.

The “image select” stick, can usually be found where you find other Instagram Story features, such as music, polls and DM requests.

This is something I don’t have, and if you don’t have it either, you’re probably searching for an alternative way to add multiple pictures on your Instagram Story.

Fear not!

There is an easy way to complete the task, and today you’re going to learn how to add multiple pictures on an Instagram Story without needing to download any extra apps to your iPhone.

That’s right, you can do this right on your phone (even if your Instagram doesn’t offer you this capability quite yet).

Steps for adding multiple pictures on an Instagram Story

In three simple steps, you’ll know exactly how to make an Instagram story collage with your images.

1. Open Your Instagram Stories

To begin, head into your Instagram stories and upload the first image that you’d like to use.

You can “pinch” the image in order to scale it to the size you’d like to use.

2. “Copy” The Second Picture

Now, go into your image roll on your phone and find the photo you’d like to add next to your Stories.

Tap on the rectangle with the arrow in the bottom left hand corner to bring up the menu options.

From there, click on “Copy” and go back into your Instagram Story.

3. Click “Add Sticker” or “Paste”

When you go back into your Instagram Story, a button might automatically pop up in the bottom left hand corner of your screen that says “Add Sticker”.

If this happens, simply click on it and your new photo will be added in.

However, this button doesn’t always pop up. If that doesn’t happen, no worries! You can still add multiple pictures on your Instagram Stories without it.

All you need to go is click on the text tool, tap and click “paste”.

You’ve successfully added multiple photos to one Instagram Story!

Complete this as many time as you’d like to add even more images.
