Instagram is one of the best photo and video-sharing social media platforms on the planet. However, like every other service, it needs constant updates and new features to maintain its position. This resulted in a number of cool lesser-known features that most users aren’t aware of. So here’s a list of some cool Instagram tips and tricks that you should try to make sure you don’t need to buy Instagram followers to get famous quickly.

  • Post Instagram images directly to other social media accounts

If you love posting the same images on different social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, or any other social media website for that matter then you will definitely love this trick. You can set up your Instagram account to do that by going to your Profile then tapping on Options then Linked Accounts and link all your social media accounts. Now, whenever you post a photo on your Instagram it will automatically be shared to all your social media accounts making your work much easier than before.

  • Schedule posts

Instagram Stories let users share photos and videos that vanish after 24 hours but after December 2017, Instagram started automatically archiving all your stories even after they expire. You can access all those expired stories by going to your profile then tapping on the hamburger menu from there tap on the “Archive” option and voilà all your Instagram stories would become visible to you. You can save them as a post or reshare them for an anniversary. For Instagram influencers, this is a cool Instagram trick to keep all their stories safe and secure at a single place without being visible to their followers.

Adding line breaks to your captions is what separates a rookie Instagrammer from a pro-Instagrammer. Adding spaces in Instagram is quite easy but some people still struggle with that, so to help you out here are the steps to add line breaks to your captions:

  • Open the notes app on your phone.
