More in Posting
  1. In New post, pick your Instagram account or Facebook Page, and add one photo or video.

A story's rules

  • One photo or one video. A video is 3 to 60 seconds, and up to 100 MB on Instagram.
  • It fills a phone's screen: photos go out at 1080 × 1920.
  • It has no words and no first comment: only the photo or video goes.
  • The network takes it down after 24 hours.
