Sounds complicated? Hold on. I’ll unriddle how you can use Instagram Highlights without posting it.

Highlights are curated Instagram stories featured on your profile. Highlights are found just under the bio section. Hence a great way to introduce yourself. Your followers on Instagram will see the best bits of your life, products, or company. You can categorize them as you wish.

Adding Highlights Without Posting
Users often add Instagram stories and then save the stories as Instagram Highlights. But you can add Instagram Highlights on your profile without posting them to Instagram stories. Here is how to bypass the story process.

Step #2: Block Everyone From Viewing Your Stories
Step #3: Add Your Story
Upload the story. You can do it directly from the home page or your profile.
Step #4: Save the Story to Your Highlights Section
Go to the uploaded story and tap the Highlights button.
Step #5: Change Privacy Settings After 24 Hours
After 24 hours, your story will move from the story section to the Highlight section. Once transferred to the Highlights sections, restore the story and privacy settings. If you delete it before 24 hours lapse, you won’t have any video to add to your Highlight section. If you cannot see a video after 24 hours, try reuploading it and re-adding the Highlight.
