Did you know that in 2020, 400 million people were watching Instagram Stories every day? That’s a lot of people just waiting for you to upload a Story.
Instagram Stories can reach a wide range of people for various reasons. Whether you want to promote your band’s music or share what you had for dinner, Stories are a great way to grab your viewer’s attention.

They’re just as popular as the photos you post on your feed, so it’s no wonder you want to make them as cool as possible.
While a picture may be worth a thousand words, text plays a vital role in ensuring your Instagram Story connects with viewers. If you’re wondering how to use text with your Story, you’ve come to the right guide.
How to Use Text in an Instagram Story
Text blocks are an excellent way to make your Instagram Story more appealing to your followers.
If you’re posting a video, you can use text blocks to summarize what you’re saying for those who are watching stories without sound. If you’re posting photos or using simple background templates, you can use text blocks to share different information with your audience.
The following steps will guide you through adding text to your Instagram Story:
- Launch Instagram on your smartphone or tablet.
- Swipe to the right on your home page to open “Stories.”
- Choose a photo or a video to share.
- Tap on the “Aa” icon in the upper right corner.
- Start typing your text.
- When done, tap anywhere on the screen to exit the text.
You can also add text by simply tapping anywhere on your screen. Your keyboard will immediately pop up so you can start typing right away.

If you want to change the size of your text block, it’s a piece of cake! Simply use two fingers to pinch or expand the block, or use the toggle on the left while in type mode. It’s super intuitive!
There are other things you can do to modify the text. The options for customization are available at the top of the screen.
Here are some different alignment options you have: left, right, or center.
You can choose from various fonts for your text, from classic to bold or italic.

The Best Font Hacks for Instagram
There are only a few fonts you can use while creating an Instagram Story. But are there any tricks you can use to be even more creative?
Thankfully, yes. Here are a few of my favorites.
1. Use Third-Party Apps to Create Stories.
Apps like Canva, InShot, Over, Unfold, and others give you access to more beautiful fonts that you can use for unique Instagram Stories. If you have an Apple device, you can use a combination of Over and AirDrop to add your brand’s font to a story.
2. Use GIFs.
On Instagram, you can find more than just cute and funny images among the available GIFs. If you type in individual letters or “alphabet” in the search field, you’ll also find letter GIFs that you can use to create text blocks in your Instagram Stories.
3. Make Your Font Three-Dimensional.
The steps are simple:
1. Tap the screen to enter the desired text.
2. Exit that text block and create a new one with the same text but a different color. They should be the same size, though.
3. Move the text blocks so they’re one on top of another, but align them slightly apart from each other – make sure both are visible.
That will create a cool 3D effect and make your text stand out.
