<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re using Instagram for your business, you\u2019re probably more than familiar with Instagram Stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you use it to talk directly to your followers, alert followers of a new Instagram post, share a quote or photo of significance or do a quick repost of content from other accounts, Instagram Stories<\/a> are a tremendous tool for your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But did you know that you also have the ability to change your Instagram story background color? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most users tend to stick with the default background Instagram chooses based on the colors in your image because the methods to change it aren’t obvious at first glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And hey, sometimes, the gradient default color works just fine for your Instagram story background. But most of the time, you could probably use a little more creative freedom! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog post tutorial will go over three ways to change the background color of your Story, depending on the effect you are going for! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
