Have you published an Instagram story and want to edit it? This is all you can change once you’ve submitted it.
If you have published an Instagram story but made a mistake in some detail or want to change anything, you should know that Instagram allows you to edit stories after you have published them.
Although it will almost always be more convenient to delete the story and upload it again, sometimes the option to edit a story can be very useful. We will explain how you can use it.
Edit your stories without having to delete them
It is worth mentioning that, as of today, Instagram does not allow changes to images or videos uploaded to stories. Therefore, if you want to make any type of adjustment to the image or video in question, you must delete the content and republish it. Remember that, before doing so, you can save the edited image through Instagram.
However, if what you want is to make any changes to the publication itself, Instagram does offer some settings that could be useful.
Among the options to edit stories that Instagram offers, it is possible to modify the visibility settings of the publications, allow or block responses to the stories, and the option that other people can share them with third parties.
To access the Instagram stories edit menu, you must follow these steps:
- Tap on your Instagram profile picture in the stories carousel at the top.
- Go to the story you want to edit by tapping on the left or right side of the screen.
- Now, tap on the three dots icon at the bottom right corner of the screen.
- Then tap on “Story Settings”.
From that menu, you will be able to access all the story editing settings to change the parameters of your stories .
How to edit story highlights
Instagram has also allowed, for some time now, to keep stories pinned to our profile. This feature is known as “Highlights”, and thanks to it we make sure that our best stories always remain on our profile, available to all those who visit us.
These types of stories can also be edited. To do this, you just have to follow a fairly simple process:
- Open Instagram and tap on your profile picture in the bottom right corner of the screen.
- Long press on the featured story you want to edit.
- In the menu that will appear at the bottom, choose the option “Edit5 featured story”.
Choosing this option will open the highlight story editing window. Through it you can, for example, edit the cover photo of the story, change the title or delete and add images and videos to the featured story.
