      Best Practices for Highlight Covers 

      We should mention the covers now because a cool, stunning cover can change the whole look of your profile easily. You can find these tips useful if you need to improve your covers. 

      Consistent Themes: Using a theme or a color palette can be interesting, also it looks super professional. 

      High-Quality: Quality is important, that’s for sure, that’s why your cover images should be high resolution and clear. Because blurry, pixelated images can spoil the overall appearance of your profile. 

      Readable Text: If you want to use text on your covers, make sure it’s easy to read. Use a simple font and a contrasting color to make it readable. 

      Keep It Simple: Don’t stuff your cover with complicated symbols and colors, be simple because clean designs are much more effective. 

      Reflect Content: Covers should give some clues about what’s inside to help your followers easily find what they want. 

      Tips for Organizing Your Instagram Highlights 

      We know how to reorder Instagram Highlights and create cool covers, here are two tips to maintain their order and appearance.

      1. Sort connected stories. Travelogues, new product introductions, or personal achievements—combining related stories makes your profile more interesting and easier to navigate. 
      2. Regularly update Highlights to keep them fresh. Don’t let your Highlights go stale. Regular updates ensure that your profile reflects the latest and greatest of what you have to offer. 

      Common Issues and Solutions 

      You might run into a few common issues, but I’ve got solutions for you.  

      To begin, there is a limitation on highlights. Instagram lets you highlight up to 100 stories at a time. If you go over this number, you’ll have to either make a new Highlight or cut down the ones you already have by getting rid of stories that aren’t as important.  

      If your attempt to change the order of Highlights doesn’t work, make sure you did everything right the first time. Updates for Instagram can sometimes break things, so make sure your app is up to date. Restart the app or your device if you’re still having trouble. 

      FAQ

      Can I change the cover image of an Instagram Highlight without adding a new story? 

      Yes, you can. Go to your profile and tap on the Highlight you want to edit. Tap the More button (three dots) and select Edit Highlight. Then, tap Edit Cover and choose a new image from your current stories or upload one from your camera roll. 

      Is there a way to hide Highlights I don’t want to show anymore? 

      You can make a private Highlight on Instagram, but there isn’t a built-in way to hide Highlights. Make a list of close friends, and put the stories you want in a new Highlight that only your close friends can see.
