1. Reorder Your Filters: If you are an avid Instagrammer, you're likely to have a few go-to filters. Well, you can actually reorder them to your liking with these simple steps!
2. Get notifications from your favorite people/brands when they post new content: Do you have that one, or a few, accounts you just can NOT miss out on when they post new pictures? Well have no fear, you can choose to receive a notification every time that user posts by simply turning on push notifications for them individually.
Here's how:
3. Geotag your images/videos: Did you know geotagged content gets 80% more engagement? Users usually browse tagged locations to view and follow others in the same area. That means more people can see YOUR posts, how cool is that?! It's super simple to do too!
Here's how to do it:
4. Insert line breaks into your bio and captions: Want to make your posts and bio more visually appealing? Huge blocks of text on Instagram are difficult to read and may get overlooked. Fortunately, we have an #InstaHack that allows you to turn that ugly and long text into an organized paragraph! There are actually two ways to do this.
First Way:
Second Way:
When you write a caption in Instagram, you'll see the keyboard doesn't give you an option to press "Enter" or "Return." Luckily, all you have to do is press the "123" key in the bottom left-hand corner of the keyboard, and the "Return" key will appear on the bottom right. Volia! Now you will have the best looking posts and bio on Insta!
5. See all of the posts you've liked: Have you ever been curious to view all of the photos you've ever liked? Well, you actually can with this simple hack! All you have to do is go to your profile and click the "Options" button, which is the gear icon on iPhone/iPad, and three dots on Android. Then, click "Posts You've Liked." Now you can see every picture you've ever liked on the 'Gram!
6. Create a collection of saved photos: Last but not least, have you ever seen a post on your feed you wanted to come back to later without having to hunt it down? Well, there's a hack for that! Instagram gives you the option to save or bookmark specific posts in collections that you can create.
These are just a few of many helpful tips and tricks that you can try out to help enhance your profile's presence on Instagram. Not only can you use this creative app to its full extent by displaying more visually appealing content, you can be more selective with which brands pop up on your feed to spark inspiration. Which #InstaHack is your favorite?

Geotag my images
i like learning how to save pictures in folders. i always have a hard time finding the pictures i want to use and have to go thru them. so my fave would be #6.
Oh my goodness!!! Thank you for the hack about organizing collections!!! I had no idea!!!!!! Thank you!!! Love it!
I like hack #2. "Get notifications from your favorite people/brands when they post new content"
I never knew these #InstaHacks and thank you for them. I like number 4 because that is what i do. waving hi.
My favorite #InstaHacks is #1. Some of my favorite filters are near the end, so this hack will really save me from scrolling through all the filters. Thanks so much!
These are great tips, I didn't know about them.
If I did use Instagram my favorite hack would be the filters. How fun to change your pictures....I would feel like a photographer.
love #6
I didn't know you could bookmark posts on Instagram.

The tip to find the return button by hitting the 123 key is awesome!! I usually end up typing in an email and sending it to myself. This will be a lot easier!
Wow. So many helpful tips. Especially about creating line breaks. Tight text is so difficult to read.
Organizing photos. That's the best!
