Instagram Stories is a great option that helps you save time if you want to quickly post something you shot just recently. These Stories can be viewed by your followers for 24 hours, after which they are stored in your archive. The photos and videos in your Stories are uploaded separately from your Instagram posts. All you have to do is add a photo, choose an effect for it, and post it. It all takes no more than two minutes. Of course, there are additional features that Instagram Stories offers. You can add various stickers, gifs, time, weather, location, quiz, and so on.

Many Instagram users also often add another photo to their Story. This can be done in a variety of ways. You can simply add another photo to the Story, arrange several photos as a collage, or add a new photo as a separate Story. So, here is how to add pictures to an Instagram Story.
