Changing the background color of your Instagram story can make it more fun and personalized. It’s a simple process that lets you add your own flair to your stories. In this step-by-step guide, I’ll show you exactly how to change the background color and add your favorite photo over it.
Step 1: Open the Instagram App
First, launch the Instagram app on your phone. Once you’re on the homepage, swipe to open the camera feature for your story.
Step 2: Take a Picture
It doesn’t matter what picture you take since you’ll replace it with a background color. Just snap any photo as a placeholder.
Step 3: Go to the Drawing Tool
In the top right corner of your screen, tap on the three dots. Then, select Draw from the options.
Step 4: Pick a Background Color
At the bottom of your screen, you’ll see a color palette. Choose any color you want for your background. Once you’ve picked the color, place your finger on the screen and hold it there. The background will fill with the color you selected.
Step 5: Add Your Photo
Now that you have your background color, you can add a photo. Tap Done to save the background. Then, click the Sticker icon at the top right (it’s next to the text icon). Scroll down until you see a sticker that allows you to add your photo.
Step 6: Select and Insert Your Image
Tap on the photo sticker and pick the picture from your gallery that you want to add. Once you choose the photo, it will appear on your background.
Step 7: Share Your Story
When everything looks good, tap on Your Story to post it. Your story will now show the new background color with your chosen image on top.
