Creating an Instagram highlight cover should not take more than a few minutes.
- You can highlight any photo or video that is in the highlight
- By default, your Instagram highlight cover is the first photo or video you posted.
- To create a new story highlight, open the highlight and select the edit menu
In order to save some stories that normally disappear after 24 hours, they can be posted as highlights.
After you post your Instagram story, they are stored in a personal story archive in your account. You can save each of these stories as a highlight to be displayed publicly on your profile page.
Each highlight has a cover photo, and by default, the first photo or video is saved in that highlight as the cover of that highlight. But changing the highlight cover to another photo you want is easy.
Here’s how to do it
