Surely, on some occasion, you have wanted to give a twist to the fonts and letters that come by default on Instagram, right? It has happened to all of us! Here we explain how to do it by adding shading.

This trick is very simple. It consists of adding the text twice, one of them in black (which will be the shadow) and another in the color that we want (which will be the main one).

• The first step is to create a new story and choose the background we want.
• Once this is done, we will create our first text. We will start with black (the shadow).
• Next, we’ll create the same text in another color and position it above the shadow text.
  Move it to your liking, until you get the desired effect and publish!

4. Add questions to your Instagram stories

If you want to encourage your followers to interact with your account, polls and questions are an indispensable tool. With them, you can launch queries to find out the opinion of your audience.

Adding questions to your stories is one of the easiest tricks to implement. You will only have to include the sticker when creating your story.

5. Minimize and/or hide your hashtags, one of the favorite Instagram stories tricks
