Before posting a photo on Instagram there’s something that we all do — can you think of what it is? Edit! Whether we ultimately use one or not, we all swipe through the preset edits available in the app, and we usually swipe back to “Normal” once we see the limited number of options. If you’ve found yourself bummed out by the out-of-date photo edits available from Instagram, you’re in the right place.

3. Stories Take Over

In recent years, we’ve seen Stories overtake Posts as the most popular method of sharing on Instagram, and we expect this trend to grow even more in 2023. People spend more time watching Insta-stories, so you should in turn spend more time creating them. Want to read more about this feature? Check out our overview here!

4. Typography

Instagram has always been about photos, but posts with larger-than-life fonts and phrases are becoming popular too. These can be inspirational or silly, but whichever way you choose to use them, it’s a great way to express your personality and values.

5. Giant Square Grids

A trend that we’ve seen in the past is square grids showcasing multiple photos, and we’re here to tell you that it’s staying around! Instead of focusing on one photo, experiment with posting several smaller pictures to create one big one in 2023.

6. Don’t Forget to Repost

Sharing is caring, right? Regardless of what kind of photo you post (selfies, landscapes, etc.), it’s always a good idea to repost it to your story to increase the reach. Many of us begin our Instagram visits by watching stories versus scrolling through our feed, so this is a great way to ensure your photos are seen no matter what places your followers are looking at first.

7. Pick a Color Theme

Creating a cohesive color theme is important in many aspects of life, but especially your Instagram game. Make your photos look consistent and like they are a part of the same story, which will make them more visually and aesthetically pleasing. If you can manage, it’s best for your “Story Highlights” icons to have consistency too — using the same font and color if possible.
