How to Change Highlight color in an Instagram Story?
Highlight refers to two things on Instagram. When you upload a picture or video and decide to add some form of text to it, or you simply add text to your story with just a colorful background with no image or video accompanying it. Another thing referred to as Highlight on Instagram is a collection of stories that you can save up on your profile. This is done in the specific “Highlights” section of your profile, and you can select a cover for each one of these highlights. Let’s see how you can make changes with both these things on Instagram.
How to change text highlight color on Instagram stories?
- Swipe to the left from Instagram and open up your Story screen.
- Go to create.
- Tap on the “Aa” icon on your screen.
- Start typing and once you are done, click on the icon at the top of your screen with the alphabet “A” and two stars with it.
- By default, the typed-out text will be in white color, and it will be highlighted in a black box.

- Tap on the color palette icon and choose a color from the list of options.
- The letters that you have typed out will change color according to the one you just selected.
- The highlight won’t change color, though. For that, you will have to tap on the “A” icon once again. The color between the letters and the highlight will be swapped out. If you wish to change the highlight color, you can do it this way by first changing your text’s color and then the highlight.
Choosing a color from the Color palette does limit your options in terms of choice of colors. So there is another way of changing color, and that is what we will see in the next guide mentioned below.
