No matter how much you've used Instagram, there's always a new trick to learn, so we've gathered a few of the lesser known Instagram hacks to help you make the most of the app. Have you ever been in a social media brainstorm? And if only you could pull up that social video you saw last night, it would be the perfect example to kick things off. Turns out, if you liked it, you can just go to your profile and click the Options button, then select posts you've liked. The bigger your following gets, the more people will tag you in their posts. You can find all of these under the Photos of you tab on your profile. If there's any you want removed, tap the three dots, choose Hide photos, and check the posts one by one. If you're like me, you have one filter you use all the time. Good news, you can reorder the filters so your favorite is front and center. Start by uploading a photo. When it's time to add a filter, scroll all the way to the right and tap Manage, hold, and drag on the three gray lines to move a filter. Hit the white check mark to hide any you don't want to use. Speaking of filters, did you know that warm filters get more engagement than those that highlight cool tones? Test me on it. Try Lark, Mayfair or Rise on your next post. I'll admit this next Instagram hack is simple, but it took me a while to get I wanted to insert a line break to separate my caption from the hashtags, but the return key was missing. All you have to do is tap the 1, 2, 3 button to bring back the return key. You could also put all of those extra hashtags in the first comment of your post to keep things uncluttered. Finally, let's do deal with one of the biggest Instagram linking to an external site. While you can't link in your posts, you can update the link in your bio as often as you want. Use your captions to encourage people to click the updated link in your bio. That's a wrap. Let us know any tricks we might have missed in the comments.
