There are several ways that you can share your camera roll photos with friends and family on Instagram. One way is to post them as a photo story on the app, which also allows you to add text or draw over the photo.
1) Open the photo gallery and you should see a header that says either “Last 24 hours” if you’ve taken any pics or videos in that time, or regular “Camera Roll.
2) Once uploaded, your photos will have an added date tag with their respective file name to mark when they were created.

What is camera roll in Instagram?
Instagram’s camera roll is a place where you can go to scroll through an endless feed of the photos and videos saved onto your device. When you select one that was taken more than 24 hours ago, it will automatically have the date sticker with day, month, year on it!
Can you post camera roll to Instagram story?
Take advantage of the newest feature that lets you upload content from your phone library or camera roll. With this update, it is no longer necessary for your video and pictures go live as soon they are taken! Uploading any piece of media in either category will allow them to be seen by all followers with ease. Thanks to an update released last year (2018) users can do so quickly without having to wait until after taking a picture first.
Why can’t I post pictures from my camera roll on my Instagram story?
Instagram Stories only allows you to post camera roll photos from the last 24 hours. Therefore, all of your recent photo memories will be inaccessible if they are older than two days old! This means that even though we take so many pictures in a day and often end up with some great ones, people won’t see them unless it’s been less than twenty-four hours since their creation – which is practically impossible.
The sense of exclusivity this creates can make Instagram stories feel like such an intimate window into someone’s life; for better or worse because there may not always be something worth seeing outside those frames each time one scrolls through on the app itself (no matter how interesting what was captured might have been).
Can you add pictures from your camera roll to Instagram highlights?
If you want to add a story directly from your gallery or camera, unfortunately this won’t be possible because of the restrictions set by Instagram. The only exception is if it’s been uploaded as an IG Story and left for one full day.
Why does Instagram say my gallery is empty?
The Instagram app will not let you upload posts for some reason. If your gallery is empty, do as follows: uninstall the app and go to Google Play Store where we found that if you are running a beta version of an installed application on Android devices then there should be a message saying “You’re Beta Tester.”
Can you add a video from camera roll to Instagram story?
Adding a video to your Instagram story is easy!
1) First, tap the camera roll icon on the top right of your screen.
2) Next select whichever video you want from among those saved in this device’s photo library and add it into an active Story by tapping “Add Video”. The only limit for each person’s Story time-slot is 15 seconds, so make sure not to use up that entire amount too quickly or else viewers might miss out on what comes next as they scroll through their news feed. To spruce things up even more try adding polls, music tracks or other stickers with simple taps before sending off your creation via Stories mode.
Why is my camera roll not showing up on Instagram?
What’s happening, as it turns out, is that Instagram has opted to only view images hosted locally. Since the photos are stored in iCloud Photo Library, they’re invisible to their app and vice versa; so while you can still post pictures from your phone or any other device with a memory card like an SD Card into social media networks such as Facebook for example (except Snapchat), if you want them visible outside of Apple devices then this will be necessary soon enough when the new update comes live.
What happens when you allow Instagram access to your photos?
Instagram is collecting data about the type of device that’s being used, what network it can be found on as well as location information for every picture taken by users – all without explicit permission from its one billion+ active members- but clicking “ok” in a dialog box is good enough.
Why can’t I add a video to my Instagram story?
Instagram has been having some bugs with uploading videos to your story. Here are the steps you can take if this happens:
1) Uninstall and reinstall Instagram on your phone, by going into settings>apps>instagram and clicking “uninstall”
2) Reset all of your passwords for other apps that use Facebook or Google login info (including any accounts linked through email)
3) Log out of every account you have logged in from a shared device before logging back in using just one credential.
Why are my Instagram photos not saving to camera roll?
If your photos are not saving after turning ON the setting “Save Original Photos”, then make sure that you have enough storage space on your phone. To check balance of storage, tap Settings app and Storage tab. If there is a sufficient amount of free memory available in internal or external SD card, red circle next to “Storage” will turn green with number showing how much total capacity is currently installed (in GB).
How do I get Instagram to automatically save to my camera roll?
