How to Change Background Color on Instagram Story

Instagram Stories are a great way to share your daily life with your friends and followers. However, sometimes you may want to make your Story stand out by changing the background color. In this article, we will show you how to change the background color on Instagram Stories.

Adding a Solid Color Background

The first step to changing the background color on your Instagram Story is to add a solid color background. To do this, simply open the camera in the Instagram app and take a photo or video. Once you have your photo or video, tap on the pen icon in the top right corner. This will open the editing tools.

From here, you can select a color by tapping on the color palette icon. You can also use the color wheel to select a specific color. Once you have selected your color, simply tap and hold on the screen to fill the background with that color.

Using a Gradient Background

If you want to add a little more visual interest to your Story, you can use a gradient background. To do this, simply tap on the gradient icon in the editing tools. From here, you can select two colors to create a gradient effect.

Once you have selected your colors, you can adjust the direction of the gradient by dragging your finger across the screen. You can also adjust the intensity of the gradient by sliding the bar at the bottom of the screen.

Adding a Background From Your Camera Roll

In addition to solid and gradient backgrounds, you can also add a background from your camera roll. To do this, simply tap on the gallery icon in the editing tools. From here, you can select a photo from your camera roll to use as the background for your Story.

Once you have selected your photo, you can adjust the size and position of the photo by dragging it around the screen. You can also use the editing tools to adjust the brightness, contrast, and saturation of the photo.
