To put on highlight covers, you need to edit the highlight and select a cover photo from your camera roll.
Here's a detailed breakdown:
Steps to Add Highlight Covers
- Navigate to Highlights: Go to your Instagram profile and find the highlight you want to edit.
- Edit the Highlight: Tap on the highlight to open it, then select the "More" option (usually represented by three dots) at the bottom right of the screen. From the options, choose "Edit Highlight."
- Access Cover Editing: Within the editing options, find and tap "Edit Cover" as demonstrated in the video reference.
- Choose Your Cover: Tap the "Select photo" option. This will open your camera roll. Select the image you would like to use as the cover. This is the photo that people will see as the icon for that highlight.
- Finalize: Once you have chosen your cover image, click "Done" to save your changes.
Key Takeaways
