How does the layout work?
This is a simple feature that works with up to six photos. Prior to the 2019 update, you had to use a third-party app or hack (copy a photo from a gallery and paste it into a text box) to achieve the same effect. Since the update, this can be done without leaving Instagram and with just a few clicks.
- Open Instagram (make sure you’re using the latest version).
- On the home screen, tap Your story to create a story.
- When you are on the capture screen, tap the layout icon on the left bar
- Tap on the layout grid below on the left to see the different options
- Select the type of layout you want. Notice that they look like collages.
- Add your media, then when you’re done, send it to your story or to friends.
