To add a white border to your photo on Instagram using a method related to filters, follow these steps directly within the app. This process utilizes a feature tied to filter adjustments to apply a white frame.

Steps to Add a White Border via Filter Setting
Instagram offers various tools for editing your photos before posting. One method, as described, involves accessing a border option through the filter adjustment screen.
- Start a New Post: Open the Instagram app and tap the + icon to begin adding a new photo or video post.
- Select and Proceed: Choose the photo you want to add a white border to from your gallery and tap Next in the upper right-hand corner.
- Access Filters: The filter options should now be active at the bottom of your screen. Scroll through and select a filter you like, or even one you don't intend to fully use, as this method uses the filter screen to reveal the border option.
- Adjust the Filter: Double tap on your filter of choice. This action typically brings up a slider that allows you to adjust the intensity of the filter effect.
- Find the Border Option: After double-tapping the filter, you will see a slider appear, usually indicating the filter's strength (e.g., 0 to 100). Crucially, next to this slider, you should see a square icon.
- Apply the White Frame: Tap on the square icon. According to the reference, tapping this square will apply the white border to your photo.
- Finalize and Share: Once the white border is applied, tap Done (often located above the photo or near the slider/square area), and then tap Next to proceed to the caption and sharing screen.
This method allows you to add a simple white frame using a feature embedded within the filter adjustment interface of the Instagram app itself.
- Tip: The exact appearance and availability of the square icon might depend on your Instagram app version and the specific filter selected.
- Note: This method is distinct from using third-party photo editing apps that offer more customizable border options.
By following these steps, you can give your Instagram photos a clean white edge directly before sharing them.
