Luckily, all that has changed now - you can just go to go to your camera roll, gallery or saved photos, choose a pic and upload it to Instagram stories for the whole world to see - there is no more need to hack Instagram to get around the limitation.

Secondly, open the app, go to your feed page and swipe right to get to the Instagram story page. Open the photo gallery by swiping up - you should see a header that says either “Last 24 hours” - that’s if you’ve taken any pics or videos in that time, or regular “Camera Roll” - if you don’t have any new pics. Once you upload a photo, you will see a tag with the date the photo was taken on it. You can delete it if you want - just drag the sticker downwards to the trash can that will appear, or you can choose to keep it. If you want the sticker to remain on the pic - try changing its size, location and color to better suit your picture.
