To add multiple photos to an Instagram Story, you have several effective methods depending on whether you want them as separate slides or combined in one story frame:
1. Adding Multiple Photos as Separate Story Slides
- Open Instagram and swipe right or tap your profile picture to enter Story mode.
- Tap the photo icon at the bottom-left to open your gallery.
- Tap "Select" in the top right corner to choose multiple photos (up to 10).
- Tap the arrow to proceed, customize each photo if desired, then share.
This uploads each photo as a separate story slide that viewers can tap through
2. Adding Multiple Photos in One Story Using the Layout Feature (Collage)
- Open Instagram and go to Story mode.
- Tap "Create" or the camera icon.
- Select the Layout or Collage option from the side menu.
- Choose a grid layout and add photos to each section.
- Customize and share your story with multiple photos arranged in one frame
3. Layering Multiple Photos on One Story Frame
- Start a new Story and select a background photo or solid color.
- Tap the sticker icon (smiley face) at the top.
- Choose the Photo Sticker or Camera Roll sticker to add a photo on top.
- Resize, move, rotate, or change the shape of the photo.
- Repeat to add more photos as stickers layered on the story.
