Instagram Tricks & Tips — 19th Edition (2024)

Instagram has more than a feed to explore. This illustrated 19th-edition guide walks through the platform’s settings, Stories, Reels, and other everyday features, with clear, topic-by-topic instructions for readers ready to look beyond the basics.

Rather than focusing on one narrow task, Instagram Tricks & Tips ranges across the app: from privacy controls and notifications to finding content, sharing Stories, and tidying up account activity. Its contents make it easy to turn to a particular feature when you want a guided explanation.

Get more familiar with your account settings

The opening guides cover Story settings, push notifications, the Instagram web portal, and using Instagram on Windows 10. There is also material on finding content and following celebrities. Together, these topics introduce ways to adjust the experience and navigate the platform.

Stories, Reels, and creative tools

A substantial section explores Instagram Stories, including viewing and posting, editing, adding text and drawings, face filters, and stickers. The guide also turns to live streaming, Boomerangs, Reels, and hands-free use—helpful subjects for readers who want to understand the range of formats covered in this edition.

Small settings with practical uses

Later chapters collect tips on content options, viewing liked posts, clearing search history, rearranging filters, and adding a fundraiser. A glossary rounds out the contents, offering a reference point for Instagram terminology.

A browseable guide to Instagram

With illustrated walkthroughs and short sections organized around individual features, this edition suits readers who prefer to consult a specific topic rather than read straight through. Keep in mind that it reflects the platform as covered in the 2024 edition.
