Instagram Highlights are an excellent way to curate your past stories and allow them to sit permanently on your profile. They appear as circular icons and can be accessed by anyone who visits your profile. However, what if you want to add a post to your highlights without it first appearing on your Instagram story?
In this article, we will discuss a workaround that will enable you to post an Instagram story highlight without having anyone see it on your Instagram story.
The first step is to create a new Instagram story. You can use the “+” sign at the top or press your profile button to take a picture of anything you want. Once you have your image or video, you will need to have it in your story for 24 hours before it is placed in your archive, where you can pull it through into your Instagram highlight.
The workaround to post the Instagram story highlight without it appearing on your story is to hide your story from other accounts. Open your profile and go to settings, then privacy, and finally, story. Here, you can select the option to hide your story from other accounts. However, the tricky part is that you will have to manually select each account that you want to hide your story from. This can be tedious and time-consuming if you have a large following.
Once you have hidden your story from other accounts, you can add your post to your story and post it. After it has been up for 24 hours and disappears, it will be moved into your archive. From there, you can pull it through into your Instagram highlights.
Keep in mind that if you delete your story before the 24 hours are up, your highlight will disappear. Also, the workaround of hiding your story from other accounts and manually selecting each one may not be feasible for accounts with a large following.
In conclusion, while this workaround is not ideal, it allows you to post an Instagram story highlight without having anyone see it on your Instagram story. We hope that this article has helped you add a post to your Instagram highlights.
