How to Make a Collage on Instagram Story

The final way to add multiple photos to your Instagram story is by making a photo collage. You'll use "stickers" of your photos, and can drag and drop them wherever you like, and make them your preferred sizes. Here's how:

1. Swipe right on your main Instagram feed to create a story.
   
   
2. Take a picture or upload one from your camera roll, or select Create mode for a colored background.
   
   
3. Tap the Stickers button at the top of your screen.
   
   
4. Scroll down until you see the Photos icon, over an image of the last photo in your Camera Roll. Tap that to access your Camera Roll.
   
   
5. Select the photo you want to include in your collage. You can only do one at a time, so repeat as many times as necessary.
   
   
6. Drag and drop your sticker to your desired location. Pinch in or out to resize, and tap the sticker to change its shape.
   
   
7. Repeat steps 4–6 until your collage is complete.
   
   
8. Tap Your Story at the bottom of your screen.
   
   
9. You can now view your story by tapping your icon on the top of your screen.
