How to Post Instagram Status Updates
The Instagram profile has a new section for status updates. You could see my status update right up here and it's between my name and my bio. So how do I make this? Well, it doesn't happen inside of Instagram. Actually, it happens on another app by Instagram called threads from Instagram. So if I click it right here, it says open threats.
Now that's an entirely different app from Instagram for chatting with your close friends and I have a completely separate video about that, that I made yesterday. So I'll put that in the description below this video if you want to watch what threads for Instagram are and how it works. Let me go ahead and press open on it.
Now, if you don't have the app, let me just show you in the app store, just go to the app store and look up the app threads or the Google play store and it's called threads by Instagram. So download it, open it, and link it to your Instagram. Once you do, you could come back here, and here is the home page of threats here and what I could do is press set status on top. So I could press the plus sign there and then he brings me to this page where I could go ahead and set my status. I just have to press this area where it says your status, where I could press the plus sign right here to set a new one or press it. And I could type out what I'm doing.
So editing a video. That's my status. Next to that, there's the emoji icon, press and you could set an emoji from your keyboard. So I'll press that and I'll go ahead and add this as my emoji and I'll press the checkmark right here on top. There's a couple of different ones, too. It says notify close friends that will notify your close friends on threads that you updated your status.
I usually just leave that off and I'll press checkmark and one more thing. I'll show you here. You could press the plus sign here and there's something called auto status. You see on top, it says auto status that you could turn on and this gets access to your location and automatically updates your status based on your location.
I'm going to leave this off for now, but you could explore that there's a learn more option two that shows you the type of different auto statuses that could show up on your profile, press X and now if I go back to Instagram and refresh, you could see that my status has been updated to the one I just created on threads from Instagram.
I hope you found this video useful. Please give it a thumbs up, share it with other people and I'll see you next time.
