5 Basic Instagram Story Hacks You Probably Never Knew About

Let's say you want your story frame to be one solid color, and you don't happen to have a swatch of that color just laying around for you to snap a photo of. Fair enough. Here's the hack: Take a photo of anything, literally anything at all (I took a picture of my desk — riveting content, I know). Then, select the writing tool in the upper right-hand corner. Select the color of your choice from the color picker menu, then press and hold anywhere on the frame. Voilà! Your color instantly fills the screen.
