How to post your Instagram Story with the Sticker?
As you know Instagram doesn’t allow any other apps or websites to automatically post Instagram Stories at the moment. It’s against their Rules and Policies.
Preview has been officially approved by Instagram and follows their Rules and Policies to keep your account safe.
This means that the only Instagram-approved way to post Instagram Stories is to manually post them.
So how to post your Story with a Sticker?
Like this:
- In Preview, press on the Story you want to post
- Press on the “Share” button
- “Story”
- Add a new Sticker on top of your placeholder
Done.
Here is how it looks like in images:
Why place another Sticker on top of the first Sticker?
Because when you save a Story with a Sticker to your camera roll, Instagram saves the entire Story as a static image. This means that people can’t react to your Sticker.
Think of the Sticker you added in step 2 is a “placeholder”.
It will remind you to add the Sticker once you decide to post your Story.
That’s it!
Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
