Top 4 Best Apps To Edit Instastories
Instagram algorithm updates can make it difficult for our posts to be seen, meaning it's harder to grow an audience and get engagement on accounts. Ultimately resulting in less sales.
One way to get around this is to use Instagrams feature Instastories - these are video, photos, or graphics which are visible for 24 hours after being posted, can be pinned to your profile, and best of all show up on the top of everyones feed. Even if your Instastory is far behind on the line, most viewers get pulled in to what we're calling and 'Instastory Black Hole' - that experience when you click on one Instastory and 30 minutes later you're still viewing the weekend habits of your internet friends.
Instastories are going to be your best friend when it comes to engaging and growing your account on Instagram - and if you want to take your content to the next level, here are 4 of the best apps to edit Instastories.
1. Canva
Canva helps users create graphics and collages, and add nice fonts to your Instastories. It's quick and easy to use, and has a wide range of pre made templates you can edit and make your own. You can also upload your own photos, fonts, colours to make sure your branding is consistent. Canva allows you to create content via the mobile app, or on your computer.
2. Unfold
This is the app which all of you have been asking me about - introducing you to Unfold. This is an iPhone app which helps you make video and photo collages on your Instastories.
