It is possible to place two or more photos in the same Instagram Story without having to download any additional programs. Stories have an integrated tool called Layout and allows you to post two, three, four photos or six photos together. The feature is available for both Android and iPhone.
AppGeek explains how to use the feature and also lists app options for those who want more templates to make montages. Check out!
1. Open Instagram as you normally do and tap on a camera icon in the upper left corner of the screen;
2. By default, Stories are opened in the tab Normalat the bottom of the screen. Drag the tabs from right to left to the option Layout;
3. Just above the image capture button, the different image options are available layouts for mounting the photos. It is possible to make collages with two, three, four and six photos. Tap on the style you prefer;
4. Note that one of the rectangles will have the camera activated. You can take a photo right away by pressing the capture button or use one in the gallery. If you prefer the second option, touch the thumbnail image with a +, in the lower left corner;
5. If you have chosen to use the image from the Gallery, tap on the first photo you want to insert in the collage;
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to add the second photo. If you choose a model with more than two photos, just redo them to fill all the spaces;
- If you happen to regret the selected photo, touch the arrow icon with an x inside it as to delete the image. The same symbol is used to erase text on smartphone keyboards.
