What Are Instagram Story Highlights?

Instagram Highlights can be described as a set of stories you have chosen to keep visible on your account until you choose whether or not to remove them.

They can be photos videos, photos, or just about anything else you'd like to upload.

Highlights are uploaded in chronological order, meaning that if you create a story and then put it into highlights, it'll be posted just after the first one on the list.

Highlights were released along with the Story Archive, which allows users to Repost an Instagram Story if they search for it on the archive.

Reordering a Story Highlight on Instagram

At the moment, there isn't an option to directly change the order of your story's highlights. But, it's possible to follow a few simple steps.

Step 1: Once you have logged in to your account, head to the menu bar to the left and tap on your profile photo.

The profile picture is at the bottom right side of your phone's screen. After that, you'll be able to access your profile page.

Step 2. Once you've landed on your page for profile updates, click to select the Instagram story highlight and want to be first on the list.

Step 3: After tapping on that story highlight, the video or photo that you've uploaded will automatically play or flash on the screen.

Now, head towards the lower left of the screen, and click the More button that appears as a 3 dots icon.

Step 4: On the pop-out window, click the Edit Highlight option. You'll be then redirected to the story highlight's gallery.

You can also access an Edit Highlight option by long-pressing the highlight button to make the pop-up window appear.

Step 5: After that, you'll see two sections in the highlights gallery Selected and Stories. Since you're looking to add a story, select the Stories tab.

Then, you pick any story you want to add to that particular point.

You'll know that the story's selected when you see an orange checkmark in the lower right of your story's thumbnail.

Once you have selected a story, head to the upper left of the page, and then press Done.

Then, you'll see the IG story highlight you selected earlier was moved to the top of the list.

  1. If there are additional story highlights you would like to order again, repeat Steps 2 to 6 until the highlights are in the order you would like the order to appear in.

Step 7: Next, go toward the area you just reordered. Press it.

Read through the stories that are highlighted until you get to the most recent one that you have added.

When you're finished with the previous IG story, click the 3-dot symbol (which is known as the More button) once more on the lower right side of the screen until you can see the pop-out window appear.

Step 8: In the pop-out, choose the Remove from Highlight option.

Then, to complete the transfer, select the Remove Video option in the pop-out window that appears.

And, just like that, you've eliminated the highlight that you randomly added.

Repeat this process until all the story highlights are in the order you wish them to appear.
