How to Add Highlights on Instagram Without Adding to Story (2022 Hack)

Instagram isn't something that you can hack and still have relevant followers. With instagram and business in general its about building slowly and keeping good rapport with your followers and customers.

But what if you don't want anyone to see the new post and you just want it to appear in Story highlight but not in Instagram Story as a new post?

There is an option in the settings for that. Inside of Instagram settings and privacy, you can limit who sees your Instagram Story posts. You can simply check all your followers here, post to Story, and then add that to Story Highlights.

Thats what i really needed. Great video

I feel like this should be a new update for Instagram to make. To be able to make highlights without posting it on our story. I feel it would be much better and simpler

[conscious___creators]

Why does instagram make all of this so hard and not just resolve this issue, this has been a problem for ages. You should easily just be able to change your story highlight covers like changing a profile pic. Like come on! 😂🤔🤦🏼‍♂️

The thing is that lot of times, the hide story from panel doesn't show all your followers so a lot of people end up seeing that story anyway

Omgggg this works thank you so soooo much I literally put in my story five of my photos and guess what no one can see them 🤣🤣

[bekeerealestate]

I can't thank you enough for this video. Gracias

I think it's better to delete the story and set a timer that allows you to be on Instagram at like 5 min to 24 h or something and just restore the story and there barely someone will see it

So once I post the story and then remove all the people from the list... will they now be able to see that current story or no?

Thank you!! This really worked for me!

[hernanperez]

That was useful . Yeah, shame you have to go through the process . Also, it would be cool if you could insert chronologically…

but can people see that highlight when i undo hiding them after a day ?

[nellie]

I feel so old searching for this but thank u

[FallenAngelmcr]

Si helpful! Thank you so much. But, after being unblock will they actually be able to see those stories on highlights?

I can only select 194 out of 1, 443 people to hide my Story from. Is there a limit with this suggestion you've made or is there an issue that you all might be aware of that I'm facing?

[xzyra]

I just have only one problem, I can't sit in my chair all day long selecting over 2000 people hiding my story away from them 😭😹

[julianelam]

You said press this new button right here, and I have no idea what button you pushed.

[GoDxism]

I don't get it. Once I have waited 24 hours and I remove the people that were hidden from seeing my story, they can still see the story. I thought this would allow me to keep that story completely hidden within that highlight section. For example, the highlight icon could be a pic of a camera, but when you click on the highlight, that pic of the camera won't show up. I have seen this done before on other accounts.

[marlypadilla]

Do I have to block each stories that I' m going to post ? And can I add more stories that day that they will be able to see by unblocking that specific stories? Thanks

[vishalmishra]

Thanks! But I have around 300+ followers so it's a mess for me. And your voice is ✨❤️

[jeonjungkookie]

Wait, I'm confused. So after we add the highlights, then we go back to the privacy thing and take back the ticks (the one we disabled for them from seeing our story), aren't they still can see our story since we didn't delete it before 24 hours?
